Unfortunately, very few manuscripts containing the music have survived from the period, and what we know rests to a huge extent on six music books preserved from St Peter's Church, Leiden. This book describes the manuscripts, their provenance, history and repertory, and the zeven-getijdencollege, the ecclesiastical organisations which ordered the music books, in detail. These organisations have their roots in fifteenth-century piety, founded on the initiative of individuals and town administrators throughout Holland, principally to ensure that prayers and Masses were said for those in the afterlife. Music, both chant and polyphony, played an important part in these commemorative practices; the volume also looks at the choristers and choirmasters, and how such services were organised Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 09, 2019) Subject Pieterskerk (Leiden, Netherlands) SUBJECT Pieterskerk (Leiden, Netherlands) fast Subject Service books (Music) -- Netherlands -- Leiden -- History -- 16th century Service books (Music) -- Catholic Church.
