    Before I go searching for this I should make sure that "Tecum Principium" is the psalm for Midnight Mass on Christmas. If it is,would anyone know where to find a copy of the version written by Constanzo Porta? Also, how is it voiced? Thanks!

    Tecum principium is the text of the main body of the gradual for midnight mass (LU page 39: http://romaaeterna.jp/liber2/lu0393.html
    It is the third verse of psalm 109/110. The elaborate psalm verses attached to it are the first two verses of the same psalm http://www.medievalist.net/psalmstxt/ps109.htm

    Oh, I was tired when I posted this! I wanted "Tecum" written by Constanzo Porta. I came upon it and thought it was just beautiful!

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to begin searching for Porta's Tecum? I've tried a few resources and found recordings, but no sheet music. Thx.

    Looks like the music can be found only in Porta's "Opera Omnia." Maybe you could message forum member Jeffrey Quick, who's a librarian at the Case Western Reserve U.
