Character of variants in Choralis Constantinus II repertoire:

The versions of the pieces in this manuscript reflect their function as organ arrangements. Most of them have only incipits of texts. Many rests that separate phrases in the vocal parts are replaced by sustained notes. All pieces are transposed down a fourth. There are no ligatures.
