- The motet O magnum mysterium for six voices (SSAATB) that makes the present edition is extant in the printed choirbook Opera aliquot…, one of the two collections of music that Garro published in 1609, both printed at the Lisbon workshop of Pedro Craesbeeck. The work occupies the folios 67v to 69r of the publication. Although not indicated in the first folios of the motet, nor in the opening index, the text used is taken from the fourth responsory at Matins on Christmas Day, which means that the motet was indicated for the Christmas season.
In this edition clefs were used according to the modern practice, with the g2 clef corresponding in the transcription to the c1 (in the case of the superius) and c3 (in the case of the altus) clefs, the g2 clef transposed to the lower octave was used for the c4 (in the case of the tenor) clef, and the F4 clef was maintained (in the case of the bassus). Original note values of the source were kept in this edition, and the work was transposed a major second upwards. The final notes were figured in order to complete the measure where they occur. The modern division of measures with a continuous vertical bar was adopted. The occurrence of accidental signs present in the source was reproduced, being omitted in this case those after the first, according to the modern convention. Editorial accidentals and the following were placed over the staff, in a smaller size than the accident present in the source, affecting the respective note. Cautionary accidentals deemed necessary were also added over the staff in a smaller size between curved brackets. The ligatures were marked according to the conventional way, with the use of the horizontal square bracket, whole, in the case of ligature, and truncated, in the case of coloration. The orthography has been regularized with the use of capital letters and the syllabic division of the texts according to the modern convention.
