The editor Clifford Bartlett spent many years playing continuo in performances of this work and thinking about the best way to present it for musicians. His edition dates from 1990, when he and Andrew Parrott first tackled the idea that the use of high clefs in some movements was a Baroque conceit implying that the music had to be transposed downwards. For the last 30 years, the colour of the cover distinguished between "high" pitch (blue) and "low" pitch (red). For this new edition of the Monteverdi Vespers, Brian Clark has included Bartlett's two preferred pitches in a single volume.
