Nunc dimittis a 15

Chuck

Thanks for your comment. I omitted to mention originally that I had added the text to the bass part. It is debatable whether it was intended to be sung at all - the suggestion that it was is supported by the fact that it fits the words perfectly.

The continuo is never ranked as a "voice" in these works. So the reason why there are only 14 parts is that one of the parts, probably the alto in the 3rd choir, is missing.

Sorry I can't supply xml files. My version of Sibelius won't do it.

Jesu dulcis memoria (Christopher Garton-Zavesky)

Chuck,


Thank you for alerting me to the fact that I haven't uploaded a valid link. I am, very sincerely, trying to do as you ask. According to my computer, that's the link I'm supposed to provide, so I'm at a loss to figure out what to do next. Inter alia, I have managed to upload two unrelated files to the same page -- the 3vv version and the SATB version aren't anything like the same piece -- by accident.

Any help you can give me?

Chris Garton-Zavesky

I’ve reverted your last edit. Please add your files: click on « Upload a file », under « Tools » in the left pane of any page. Browse your disk to find your file, validate your choice, and that’s it. Be aware you don’t send a link, but a file. I’ll add links myself. Please notice your recent uploads have no text underlaid.
BTW, as a second file, to help users preparing rehearsal files, add an MXL (compressed MusicXML) file. When inside Finale: File/Export/MXL (compressed MusicXML).
Kind Regards, Claude T (talk) 07:05, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
