I've fulfilled my promise ''insofar as I can''. Today I'm sending you the litany on the capture of {{und2|Schlüssen-burg}}. At the beginning you will find an explanation of the ''Cefaut'' clef. In the middle is a translation of one page of the manuscript for contemporary notation <ref name="note1"/>.<br />

==Notes and References==<br />
<references><br />
<ref name="note1">It seems likely that Tchaikovsky had been asked by an official of the Imperial Theatres to adapt an old manuscript of church songs from ancient to modern musical notation. The song which Tchaikovsky adapted was a thanksgiving prayer for the capture of the fortress at Schlüsselburg (now Shlisselburg) near [[Saint Petersburg]] in 1702. See [[About the Cefaut Clef]] ([[TH]] 320 ; [[ČW]] 591).</ref><br />
