- Description
- In 1636 Magalhães published his Cantica Beatissimae Virginis, a collection of sixteenth Magnificat settings (in the eight tones, setting odd and even verses) printed in Lisbon at the Craesbeeck workshop. Magalhães’s Magnificat Sexti Toni, for four voices, sets the odd verses of the canticle to polyphony. It occupies the folios 31v to 37v of the print.
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, with the work being transposed a second higher from the source. The final notes were figured in order to complete the measure where they occur. 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 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 orthography has been regularized with the use of capital letters and the syllabic division of the texts according to the modern convention.
