Officium Defunctorum Monacense
A manuscript from the Ducal Chapel of Bavaria, now Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, MunBS 2747, contains a polyphonic setting of the complete Matins and Lauds of the Office of the Dead from the middle of the 16th century. It provides polyphony for all the antiphons, psalms, canticles and responsories, which makes it if not unique then certainly extremely rare. This elaborate setting of the traditional prayers for the dead seems to have been prepared in connection with the death the duke of Bavaria Wilhelm IV, who died in March 1550.
