Edition notes: A semidiplomatic edition: note-values are retained. Even though the settings are notated in chiavetti no transposition is made. Ficta alternations are kept to a bare minimum. This edition is for printing the scores for both choirs together. The missing odd verses are added set to the fifth tone psalm formula from Vincenzo Lusitano: "Introdutione Facilissima...", Roma 1580.
