The most important aspect of rendering an appropriate modern performance of Renaissance choral literature is to allow the meter of each individual line to be determined by the proper syllabic accent of the text. Using this unbarred and unmetered edition. In the choir will experience free flowing and undulating lines determined by the accented syllables of the text instead of meters being imposed by bar lines. For the singers of the Renaissance, this knowledge of allowing the line to flow with the accent of the text was second nature. In the present, the edition becomes the tool that the performer uses to exact a more accurate and also more exciting performance! Above and beyond adding excitement and authenticity to the performance, this edition will also assist the performers in becoming more independent both aurally and musically.
