Rathgeber's cycle of hymns in Opus XI aims to counteract the use of symphonies instead of hymns during the vespers service. The text basis is taken mainly from the breviary although Rathgeber omits single strophes. He even suggests to leave out the middle strophe of his composition written in A-B-A-form if further omissions are desired or demanded.
