Music Notes

In the Chorus-only edition, which we have printed specially for this event, the soloists’ sections are not included, other than as they lead into the next chorus.

We will sing in Latin;  a sound recording of the required pronunciation will be provided.

We will be using 3 different scores since many people have their own from previous performances.  The conductor will be using the Peters edition for rehearsals, so it is important that everyone marks their score with the page numbers for each item in the music, together with Rehearsal numbers so that we can readily find the section he wants to rehearse.    The Rehearsal numbers for the various editions are contained in the table below:
