Editions

The editions published under my name follow the historically informed performance practice editions, phrasing and other textual underlay used in actual performances by my professional choir. Scores are presented in simple, easy to read scores created by study of autographs when available, and other published or freely obtainable sources of other major editions.

Text

Text underlay follows sources when available, and follows modern "good taste", being historically informed, and view all other works by the same composer as a guide.

Sources

All sources available online or in local libraries will have been examined and collated where available. Sources kept in other countries cathedral libraries, or special archives are viewed, requested, and copied when available. A "best consensus" establishes the editorial decisions based on the composers body of works. Editorial decisions where conflicts are found within original sources will have as much information in the actual score as is necessary to explain the decisions.

Liturgy

Editions of liturgical works might differ from currently published material as they are edited for use during actual liturgy, and not solely for concert performance.
