US public domain by publication in 1878; Hoffman died in 1929, so it is PD in life+70 jurisdictions as well. TWO WITNESSES, both scans of that same plate: archive.org spifo00hoff leaf 0019 (2691x4149 px, staff space 29.2-29.7 px) and spiritualsongsfo00hoff_0 leaf 0019 (2493x3635 px, 28.4-29.0 px); both items' metadata date is 1878. (A third scan, spiritualsongsfo00hoff, is the same plate below the ~12 px/step resolution floor and was not used; spiritualsongsfo00hoff_3 is a DIFFERENT 1883 Hoffman collection.) HOW IT WAS READ. Three independent reads at every one of the 75 note columns x 4 voices: (1) the wave-5 eye reading of the verse (systems 1-3, all four voices, recorded with plate x-coordinates in the register's history at commit 40c9ceb) \u2014 re-verified here; (2) tools/noteread.py machine column tables on BOTH scans, per staff, stems up (treble) and down (bass), with local five-line refits (grid residual 0.28-0.90 px mean); (3) a fresh eye reading off grid-overlay crops at 5-12x: the chorus (systems 4-5, both staves) complete on scan 1 plus every machine-flagged verse column, and the whole hymn END TO END on scan 2. The two scans' machine tables agree at every resolved position; every disagreement between machine and eye was re-read at 10-12x and every one was a machine artifact (flag-wedge false positives at the two-stem unisons; hollow heads part-missed; the quarter-rest glyph read as a head), never a plate variance. Every bar closes at four beats in all four voices. Deciding crops and the per-system log: review/are-you-washed/READING.md. THE ACCIDENTAL SWEEP found exactly ONE printed accidental on the whole plate, on both scans: the NATURAL before the alto d' of bar 3 (glyph box x 1029-1053 on spifo00hoff; x~1099 on the _0 scan), giving f/bes/d'-natural/aes' = B-flat 7, V7/V, resolving to the E-flat chord on \"Lamb?\". Systems 1, 2, 3 were swept by the wave-5 eye pass on scan 1 and by this import's eye pass on scan 2; systems 4 and 5 were swept on both scans by this import. No other accidental exists in the hymn. WHAT DEFEATED THE EARLIER ATTEMPTS, RESOLVED. (a) The wave-5 refusal said the chorus eighths are BEAMED and fuse into one component: FALSE \u2014 the plate flags every eighth individually (verse and chorus alike, both scans); the 179x142 px \"fused beam\" component was stems + flags + the serif-capped barline + dashed staff lines merging in that agent's binarization. (b) The eight under-resolved HOLLOW chords: all resolved at 10-12x with augmentation dots \u2014 verse \"Lamb?\" bars 4 and 8 (the bass of bar 8's, unresolved by wave 5, is A-flat3/A-flat2 on both scans' machines and by eye on scan 2); chorus \"washed\"/\"blood,\"/\"Lamb?\" bars 9, 10, 12 and the final bar-16 tonic. (c) TENOR=BASS UNISONS printed as one head with two stems (bar 3 x4, bar 11 x2, and the both-stems-flagged eighths at bar 4 \"you\" and bar 12 \"your\") \u2014 encoded as the same pitch in both voices. THE CHORUS HARMONY reads: bar 9 I, bar 10 IV with a double upper-neighbour turn (women G4/E-flat4 over the men's held A-flat3/D-flat3 at \"In the\"), bar 11 I - I6 - V - I with a COMPLETE E-flat 7 in first inversion on \"of\" (G3/B-flat3/E-flat4/D-flat5 \u2014 the soprano's step +6 is the D LINE, which the signature flats; no accidental is printed in that column on either scan, so it is D-flat5 under the diatonic upper neighbour C5-D-flat5-C5; an early draft spelled it D-natural and the proof-render printed a natural the plate does not have \u2014 caught by reading the rendered page against the plate), bar 12 V then a cadential I6/4 on \"Are\" into the E-flat7 unison \"your\", bars 13-16 = verse bars 5-8's music with the walking bass A-flat2-B-flat2-C3 and the complete E-flat7 at \"of the\".

LilyPond\n%% prints the natural from the d' spelling under the four-flat signature.\n%%\n%% THE ANTIPHONAL CHORUS. The chorus is a plain bass_echo (the alto never\n%% leaves the soprano). In bars 9, 10 and 12 the lower staff rests while the\n%% women sing, then answers with its own printed lyric row BELOW the bass\n%% staff \u2014 \"Are you washed\" / \"in the blood\" / \"of the Lamb?\" \u2014 the men's\n%% quarter rests are printed on the plate exactly where they stand here. The\n%% men rejoin the women at \"In the\" (bar 10 beat 4), \"Lamb? ... Are your\"\n%% (bar 12), and sing all of bars 11 and 13-16 with them. The answer's words\n%% live in the sidecar's bass_echo, not in a fifth voice.

The\n%% men rejoin the women at \"In the\" (bar 10 beat 4), \"Lamb? ... Are your\"\n%% (bar 12), and sing all of bars 11 and 13-16 with them. The answer's words\n%% live in the sidecar's bass_echo, not in a fifth voice. The plate prints the\n%% echo row BELOW the lower staff; the house renderer prints it between the\n%% refrain line and the bass staff \u2014 a stated departure.\n%%\n%% UNISONS, printed as ONE head with TWO stems (up + down) on the plate:\n%% tenor=bass aes at \"washed in the blood\" (bar 3, four heads) and at bar 11's\n%% \"blood\" and \"the\"; tenor=bass ees at \"you\" (bar 4) and \"your\" (bar 12, both\n%% stems flagged). Encoded as the same pitch in both voices.\n%%\n%% BAR 11's \"of\" \u2014 the chorus's one non-obvious chord \u2014 is des''/ees'/bes/g:\n%% soprano step +6 is the D LINE, which the four-flat signature makes D-FLAT\n%% (no accidental is printed in that column on either scan), so the chord is a\n%% COMPLETE E-flat 7 in first inversion, V6/5 resolving to I on \"the\", under\n%% the soprano's diatonic upper neighbour c''-des''-c''. (An early draft\n%% spelled it d'' and the proof-render printed a natural the plate does not\n%% have \u2014 caught by reading the rendered page against the plate.)\n%%\n%% DEPARTURES FROM THE PAGE, stated plainly. (1) The heavy SECTION DOUBLE BAR\n%% with \"Chorus.\" falls MID-BAR (bar 8, between the verse's dotted half and\n%% the chorus pickup \"Are you\"); the engine draws its own refrain structure\n%% and no mid-bar divider. (2) The echo lyric row is printed below the bass\n%% staff, rendered here above it (house bass_echo row). (3) The plate's\n%% dashed letterpress staff lines restart with visible seams at column\n%% boundaries; two short misregistered line segments (treble bar 11 at step 6\n%% left of \"soul\"'s stem; bass staff above bar 11's \"blood\") are plate\n%% furniture, not noteheads \u2014 both scans print them identically. (4) The final\n%% bar is THREE beats, as printed \u2014 dotted-half tonic then the closing double\n%% bar; reproduced, not padded. No fermata, no dynamic, no Amen is printed\n%% anywhere on the page; nothing is dropped.\n\\version \"2.24.0\"\n\nglobal  = { \\key aes \\major \\time 4/4 \\partial 4 }\n\nsoprano = {\n  c'8 ees'8 |\n  aes'4 aes'4 aes'8 ees'8 c'8 ees'8 |\n  aes'4 aes'4 aes'4 aes'8 bes'8 |\n  c''4 c''8 c''8 c''4 bes'8 aes'8 |\n  bes'2. c''8 bes'8 |\n  aes'4 aes'4 aes'8 c''8 bes'8 aes'8 |\n  f'4 f'4 f'4 f'8 f'8 |\n  ees'4 ees'8 ees'8 aes'4 g'8 g'8 |\n  aes'2. c''8 bes'8 |\n  aes'2. aes'8 g'8 |\n  f'2. g'8 f'8 |\n  ees'4 aes'8 bes'8 c''4 des''8 c''8 |\n  bes'2. c''8 bes'8 |\n  aes'4 aes'4 aes'8 c''8 bes'8 aes'8 |\n  f'4 f'4 f'4 f'8 f'8 |\n  ees'4 ees'8 ees'8 aes'4 g'8 g'8 |\n  aes'2.\n}\n\nalto = {\n  aes8 c'8 |\n  c'4 c'4 c'8 c'8 aes8 c'8 |\n  c'4 des'4 c'4 ees'8 ees'8 |\n  ees'4 ees'8 ees'8 ees'4 ees'8 d'8 |\n  ees'2. ees'8 des'8 |\n  c'4 c'4 c'8 ees'8 ees'8 ees'8 |\n  des'4 des'4 des'4 des'8 des'8 |\n  c'4 c'8 c'8 ees'4 des'8 des'8 |\n  c'2. ees'8 des'8 |\n  c'2. c'8 ees'8 |\n  des'2. ees'8 des'8 |\n  c'4 ees'8 ees'8 ees'4 ees'8 ees'8 |\n  ees'2. ees'8 des'8 |\n  c'4 c'4 c'8 ees'8 ees'8 ees'8 |\n  des'4 des'4 des'4 des'8 des'8 |\n  c'4 c'8 c'8 ees'4 des'8 des'8 |\n  c'2.\n}\n\ntenor = {\n  ees8 ees8 |\n  ees4 ees4 ees8 aes8 aes8 aes8 |\n  aes4 f4 ees4 aes8 g8 |\n  aes4 aes8 aes8 aes4 bes8 bes8 |\n  g2. aes8 ees8 |\n  ees4 ees4 ees8 aes8 g8 aes8 |\n  aes4 aes4 aes4 aes8 aes8 |\n  aes4 aes8 aes8 c'4 bes8 bes8 |\n  aes2. r4 |\n  r4 aes8 aes8 aes4 r4 |\n  r4 aes8 aes8 aes4 aes8 aes8 |\n  aes4 aes8 g8 aes4 bes8 aes8 |\n  g4 g8 g8 g4 aes8 ees8 |\n  ees4 ees4 ees8 aes8 g8 aes8 |\n  aes4 aes4 aes4 aes8 aes8 |\n  aes4 aes8 aes8 c'4 bes8 bes8 |\n  aes2.\n}\n\nbass = {\n  aes,8 aes,8 |\n  aes,4 aes,4 aes,8 aes,8 aes,8 aes,8 |\n  aes,4 des4 aes,4 c8 ees8 |\n  aes4 aes8 aes8 aes4 g8 f8 |\n  ees2. ees8 ees8 |\n  aes,4 aes,4 aes,8 aes,8 bes,8 c8 |\n  des4 des4 des4 des8 des8 |\n  ees4 ees8 ees8 ees4 ees8 ees8 |\n  aes,2. r4 |\n  r4 aes,8 aes,8 aes,4 r4 |\n  r4 des8 des8 des4 des8 des8 |\n  aes,4 c8 ees8 aes4 g8 aes8 |\n  ees4 ees8 ees8 ees4 ees8 ees8 |\n  aes,4 aes,4 aes,8 aes,8 bes,8 c8 |\n  des4 des4 des4 des8 des8 |\n  ees4 ees8 ees8 ees4 ees8 ees8 |\n  aes,2.\n}\n", "preferred": true}], "license": "The hymn texts and tunes are in the public domain; per-layer provenance is recorded on each record."}
