- Editor: Richard Mix (submitted 2021-11-06). Score information: Letter, 16 pages, 146 kB Copyright: CPDL
- Edition notes:
Kyrie & Gloria only (no immediate plans to continue). I have followed DTÖ's underlay, though without discerning its rationale.
This CPDL edition is incomplete, either movements have not yet been edited or accompaniment is omitted.
"Incomplete" here does not refer to the original composition; works left unfinished by the composer are categorised elsewhere.
