When copyright on an old work is renewed on the basis of changes or additions is the original naked text still in the public domain or subsumed under the copyright of the amended version?

The original work remains in the public domain; copyright in the new work is not a renewal of the original protection: it is an entirely new copyright.
For example, if I do a new translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls, I control copyright over my translation, but the original texts are still in the public domain. If I record a performance of a Bach chorale, I control copyright over that recording, but the original work is still in the public domain.
