Editor: Clarke Weigle (submitted 2022-04-21).   Score information: Letter, 32 pages, 802 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Copyright ©2022, and dedicated to Sam Nelson and the choir of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Sarasota, Florida. This edition is a minor 3rd higher than original pitch to give female singers a chance to sing some interesting Josquin; see below for the individual parts of the mass. The note values have been shortened for readability, and a few phrases have been moved between parts. Based on the fine CPDL transcription by Hitoshi Yamamoto.
