Sheep May Safely Graze in Bb Major... flat the E?

[andy1973]

This piece is in Bb major... E's and B's normally flatted.

In measure eight, the first E in the treble clef is notated as a natural.

Should the two E's in the bass clef of the same measure remain natural until the end of the measure? I think they should go flat but I'd like to be 100% certain. I can't tell by listening - neither one sounds right to my ears.

I've attached a photo of measure eight to this post.

Thanks...

No. They should revert to flat - not in the same octave, not on the same stave.

Thank you!

2nd to above. when in doubt and to check/double check yourself, check the harmonic planning of the phrase, if premodern, the piece should stick to conventional movement and resolution (see std theory book for how which chords traditionally went to which, including voice leading conventions etc.).
