I see a problem with the Fermata and the following rest in bar 77 + 78 (all voices).
The notes now are
- a whole note with fermata, followed by
- a 3/4 rest and
- the quarter note for the melody ("de" in "descendit")
That says, that the rest has to be exactly 3/4.
In all other paper editions I found, the fermata is on a 3/4 note, imediately following the 1/4 note in the same bar (no rest), what makes one bar less and a difference in bar counting.
When singing, nearly nobody will make a rest of 3/4 at that point. Only taking new breath is nescessary. Therefore in bar 77 the sequence shoudt be
- 3/4 note with fermata
- Optional, a breath mark
- The quarter note to continue the melody (text: "de")

You are quite right. I performed this work some years ago under an eminent conductor in London who insisted on a dramatic silent pause before the last phrase. He convinced me that this was artistically effective and I incorporated it in my edition. I should have made it clear that this was editorial. Thank you for pointing it out.
