Note 132 — Chapter XVIII · LITURGICAL PLAYS

Reading edition

Lange, 146 (Nuremberg); for later examples cf. Lange, 99 sqq. The hymn generally comes just before the Te Deum. A fourteenth-century Bohemian version from Prague (Lange, 131) has a similar Bohemian hymn ‘Buoh wssemohuczy.’ At Bamberg in 1597 ‘potest chorus populo iterum praecinere cantilenas pascales Germanicas’ (Lange, 95). At Rheinau in 1573 it is suggested that the Quem quaeritis itself may as an alternative be sung in German (Lange, 68) ‘hisce aut Germanicis versibus cantatis.’ At Aquileja in 1495 ‘Populus cantet Christus surrexit,’ apparently in Latin (Lange, 106); and at Würzburg in 1477, ‘Populus incipit Ymnum suum: Te Deum’ (Lange, 67).
