O nata lux de lumine Thomas Tallis David Wake declares his digital typesetting public domain. That declaration is not a waiver of any separate rights in Greening’s modern edition; the composition and Latin hymn are public domain. Cantiones sacrae (1575), via Anthony Greening, The Oxford Book of Tudor Anthems. David Wake, Mutopia 949, 3 April 2007. Complete unaccompanied five-voice Latin motet, including the repeated final text Nos membra confer effici / Tui beati corporis. independent-parts https://www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/TallisT/tallis/tallis-lys/tallis.ly Source pitch level unchanged. Source rhythmic values are already halved. Each voice independently follows the source’s lyric-to-voice association and its own slurs and ties. All three above-staff editorial ficta suggestions are realized: Discantus E-natural at quarter 4.5 and F-sharp at quarter 20; Contratenor B-natural at quarter 10.5. Parenthesized accidentals identify these in MusicXML. Opening three-quarter pickup retained; common final three-quarter layout spacer omitted, giving 120 written quarter beats plus the final fermata. Quarter = 84 is a performance choice.
