Commentary

Daza’s setting of Dum deambularet dominus includes the secunda 2a pars Vocem tuam audivi (fol.40v ). The text is biblical from Genesis 3: 8-10, used as the first Responsory and Versicle at Matins on Monday after Septuagesima Sunday.

The opening text in some sources “Cum deambularet” (inc. the modern edition by Lowen Marshall [crequHLM] ), although both the Iberian sources from Tarazona and Coimbra give the same spelling as in Daza. Of the printed sources given by Lowen Marshall, Daza's version accords most closely with the 1551 print (Paris: N. du Chemin.), although only the Altus and Bassus books of this print are extant. The only available Spanish source, Tarazona MS 8, closely resembles Daza's version and has the same variant ending. The work is also given in full score, presumably for keyboard, in Coimbra M.M.242, No.37, fols.41-42v.
• 1564/4 . Complete copies in Bayerische Staatsbibl. and London BL. • Daza's intabulation differs from that in the Lowen Marshall edition.(Include a table) •

The mode of the piece is difficult to classify with exactitude. It seems to be mode 1, although both partes end on A.

Song Text

Dum deambularet Dominus
ad auram post meridiem,
clamavit et dixit: Adam ubi es?
Vocem tuam audivi in paradiso,
et timui, eo qu`od nudus essem.
Et abscondi me.

While the Lord God walked in the cool of the evening, He cried/ out and said: "Adam, where are you?"/ I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid/ because I was naked; and I hid myself.
