| 1 | Da que Déus mamou o leite do séu peito, †CSM 77:1Mettmann's o is not in [E] or [T], and he does not comment on the insertion. However, it is obviously desirable for regularizing the metre. To fit it to the [E] music, we just need to split the .oyyjo ligature into two virgae .on + .on, thereby making the refrain match the vuelta exactly, as you can see on the Music tab. To apply the fix to Elmes' edition, which also leaves out o, just break the AD ligature given to the -mou of mamou, and sing the extra word o on the D. | 11' A | |

When planning a concert or recording, I would recommend that you use (and credit) my more pragmatic texts and supporting materials in the preparation of your performance, but that you request permission from the Oxford database team to reproduce (and credit) their own critically edited texts in your programme or liner notes, as these adhere to stricter criteria that keep them closer to the original sources, and undoubtedly have the greater academic authority.

Estimated performance times
| Average syllables / min. | Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Very slow | 50 | 12:38 |
| Slow | 100 | 6:19 |
| Medium | 150 | 4:12 |
| Fast | 200 | 3:09 |
| Very fast | 250 | 2:31 |
These are very approximate total times for a full sung (or spoken) performance of all stanzas with all repeats of the refrain. Note that the speed is in average syllables per minute, and no particular mensural interpretation is assumed. More ornamented music will reduce the syllabic speed considerably. Remember also to add time for instrumental preludes, interludes and postludes.
Total syllables: 632
