The Taverners' recording is on an EMI disc 'Music of the Sistine Chapel' from 1987 - the sleeve notes don't mention whether the score had been published.

Well I decided I had better have a listen. Indeed it is molto vibrato but the tempo is quite steady. A sensational upwards scoop on Il---lumina at the start got my immediate attention. I am sure the Regensburger Domspatzen have much better blending and intonation these days.

I have an LP of this recording - it is the 5 part motet, and I think the Regensburg choir would sing it rather differently today compared to how they sang it in 1961!

Its source in York states it is by 'Mr Roseingrave, junior'. Daniel Roseingrave who in Purcell's lifetime worked in England, but later in Dublin, had three sons, all musicians - Daniel, Thomas and Ralph. My 1980 Grove says it is attributed to Ralph.
