Revision as of 19:13, 18 March 2016

My edition is based mainly on mr. Aglert´s edition, but har also been checked against the Carus Verlag (www.carus-verlag.com Stuttgart, Germany) edition from the year 2000, edited by the swedish composer Eskil Hemberg (1938 - 2004). This is, in my opinion, the most accurate modern edition of the piece (the Carus edition is said to be based on the first printed edition (erstdruck) in Stockholm 1872). Some minor errors has been corrected with respect to the Carus edition. The graphical layout has been somewhat adjusted in order to achieve a better readability for the singer:

1st & 2nd voices have been completely separated in the divisi parts use of ties has been reduced, in favour of dotted notation double sharps have been replaced with (enharmonic) natural accidentals continous bar numbering used


Differences and errors in the Aglert edition, when compared to to the Carus edition:

01 Kyrie:

Bar 15: The are a number of interpretations in different editions, concerning the divisi parts in the soprano and alto voices. In this case I have decided to follow the edition from the Swedish Choral Society (can be obtained from the publishing house Gehrmans Musikförlag www.gehrmans.se/en ), which shows no divisi in the alto voice.

Bar 20: basso: the third note should be a D, not an E flat.

Bar 30: alto 1: there should be a slur between first E flat note and the second F note, and a tie between the the second and the third note (or a dotted quarter note). alto 2: the three first C notes are all tied together (total duration 7/8). tenore: the second and the third and the F notes should be tied together (or a dotted quarter note). basso: the second and the third and the A notes should be tied together (or a dotted quarter note).


02 Agnus Dei:

General: The word “agnus” should be divided “a-gnus”, not “ag-nus”


03 Jesu Christe:

Pickup bar: alto: missing p dynamics

Bar 9 - 10: tenore: the last note in bar 9 is erraneously connected to the first note in bar 10. The phrasing should be “de – vo - o - o – ta”

Bar 36: Should be a whole note


04 Domine:

General: The word “benedictus” should be divided “be-ne-di-ctus”, not “be-ne-dic-tus”.

Bar 11: soprano: The Carus edition shows a divisi for the two last notes ( A – F sharp) which is not present, neither in mr. Aglert´s edition nor in other Swedish editions.

Bar 20: tenore: the Carus edition shows a divisi (F sharp – C sharp) which is not present, neither in mr. Aglert´s edition nor in other Swedish editions. Basso: the Carus edition shows no divisi for the two last notes (A), although other editions (including mr. Aglert´s edition) has a divisi C sharp – A.
