Alma Redemptoris Mater (Palestina) pub. john Henry Fowler
Posted: 12 Oct 2015 11:08
I direct a small schola which has just lost both altos (careless of me, I know!). We were hoping to sing Palestrina's Alma Redemptoris Mater on the first Sunday in December, using John Henry Fowler's *revised* edition, but the alto part is just a little too high for any of my tenors to attempt. If the original music file is still available, is it possible to obtain a copies of it transposed (a) down a semi-tone [D] and (b) down a whole tone [Db]? Alternatively if the source were available i could transpose it myself using Finale Allegro.
As an aside would it be possible for editors/composers to upload the source files on CPDL generally so that users could then transpose editions themselves?
Thanks in anticipation.
