Choralia provides two editions of training aids for The Creation by J. Haydn, so as to best match the score edition used by the choir. Edition 1 is checked against the standard Novello edition (NOV 070158), while Edition 2 is checked against The New Novello Choral Edition (NOV 072485). Differences are essentially related to tempo (Edition 1 is generally slower than Edition 2), and lyrics. Different lyrics sometimes result in minor adjustments to the duration of the notes, so as to adapt the notes to the different number of syllables. In few cases, the duration of notes is slightly modified even with the same lyrics. Some notes shown as "appoggiatura" in one edition may be shown as normal notes in the other edition. |
