Lutheran liturgies for various cities and regions were issued throughout the sixteenth century. The first edition of this Lutheran church order for use in the areas of Braunschweig and Lüneberg was composed by Martin Chemnitz (1522–1586) and Jacob Andreae (1528–1590), two eminent second-generation German Lutheran reformers. The work includes hymns in both German and Latin, with printed music in black included only in the chapter on the Mass.
