Portugaliæ Musica XXXVII: Antologia de Polifonia Portuguesa (1490-1680) [No.4].
Lisboa: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, 1982. (pp.18-19).URTEXT EDITION
This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.
In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).
You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

According to Grove Music, "The textless alleluia was the first of a long series of similar pieces written in Portugal: these all lack text but were therefore adaptable to any feast." This means that they were sung, but the words changed according to the event. The question is whether they would have been sung in Latin or vernacular, in this case Portuguese. Since Pires was working somewhat prior to Luther's reforms, which would not have reached Portugal until later, this work was undoubtedly sung in Latin regardless of which words were used. Tagged for Latin.
