Remarks: Ms 13610 (1) formerly in the Kigliche-und Universitäts-Bibliothek in Kigsberg, probably destroyed in World War II. Listed under ‘doubtful works’ in SSWV (2012). According to Mahrenholz, the ‘& Vocal’ indi­cations on the parts of ChIV and ChV were not original, but subsequently added by a second hand. More­over, the part Cantus I. Chori Instrumentali (ChIV) carried the designation mit Violin, Zinck, Flt, Fagotto et Vocal, indicating that the musician was required to switch between the different instruments; the same can be assumed for the other four parts of this choir.
