"Manuscript 2 Mus.pr.23#Beibd.1 comes from St.Michael's Church in Munich. It contains music for the Sunday Vespers and Compline. In the Compline-section one can find the chant and a setting of the 'Te lucis" (p.182-186). The melody of the chant differs from that in the Liber Usualis. The four-part setting has been attributed to De Victoria by E.C. Cramer. In the "Te lucis", other hands have added - to the chant with the first stanza: the words of the second stanza, and - to the setting with the second stanza: the words of the third stanza. This gives the following possibilities for a performance: A. 1+3 in unison, 2 in parts; B. 1+2 in unison, 3 in parts; C. 1 in unison, 2+3 in parts. "
