• (Posted 2015-01-31)  CPDL #34441:        (Finale 2004)

Editor: Willem Verkaik (submitted 2015-01-31).   Score information: Letter, 4 pages, 290 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: The Original key is g-dorian (one flat), but as most of the dorian sexts are diminished the actual key is g-minor. I have transposed the piece one tone down to f-minor (four flats) to bring it in the range of an all male ensemble. Note the two "Tallis"-clashes in bars 37 and 41.
