Edition notes: Transposed down a tone for S.S.A.T.B. The Bassus Continuus has been realized by the editor but it should not be considered essential. (See further commentary below).

Edition notes: Original pitch for S.S.A.T.B. The Bassus Continuus has been realized by the editor but it should not be considered essential. Early Baroque choral works in the Prima prattica (Italian, 'first practice') or Stile antico (Italian, 'ancient style') were routinely published with a basso seguente–an instrumental bass that merely follows the lowest sounding part. However, the ideal manner of performance was still a cappella, as it was until the time of Johann Sebastian Bach.
