"No. 89 of Musae Sionia V summarizes three pieces, for which there is no clear information as to whether and how they should be performed together. * "Quem pastores laudavere" and the German translation "Den die Hirten lobeten sehre", but only one stanza each. * "Heut seind die lieben Engelein" ("Nunc angelorum") in German, all four stanzas. * once again "Den die Hirten lobeten sehre" in German, all four stanzas in a different setting. The first two settings are overwritten with "ad aequales", pitches SAAT (SATB would also be possible), the last setting with "à 4" for an adult choir (SATB)."
