Editor: Pothárn Imre (submitted 2017-05-08).   Score information: A4, 8 pages, 143 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Transcribed from 1575 print. Original pitch (high chiavette) and note-values. Some errors of the original print have been corrected. Quintus: Secunda pars, measure 51. The first minim is originally E. Altus: Prima pars, measure 46: original has F - G sharp. Secunda pars: measures 13-14: the original has a B flat breve, but the space before this breve is blank, even the lines of the staff. I interpreted it as a ligatura cum oppositate proprietate A - B flat. Measure 53: the first semibrevis is originally F sharp.

Latin text

Reges terrae congregati sunt, convenerunt in unum dicentes:
Eamus in Judaeam et inquiramus ubi est qui natus est rex magnus,
cujus stellam vidimus in oriente.
Alleluja.

Et intrantes domum invenerunt puerum cum Maria matre ejus,
et procidentes adoraverunt eum offerentes ei aurum, thus et myrrham.
Alleluja.
