Editions

Sanctus & Agnus dei - edited and re-constructed by Sally Dunkley and David Wulstan
All other editions - edited by Alistair Dixon and published by the Cantiones Press.

Corrigenda

The Latin words to Beati Immaculati printed in the booklet are Jerome's translation from the Hebrew - the traditional Vulgate translation - whereas those sung are Jerome's translation from the Septuagint (the Greek).

The first edition of the booklet (part number SIGCD003.1) omitted the credit to Sally Dunkley and David Wulstan for their reconstruction of the missing parts in the Sanctus and Agnus dei of the Mass Puer natus est nobis.

Both editions of the booklet give the Sanctus and Benedictus texts as one movement whereas they are set as two movements on separate tracks.
