Conductus funebris (it contains, twice, the "Requiem aeternam" text), for four voices, two violins, two timpani, viola, double bass trombone and organ. This composition was intended for performance during
the exequies (Ordo exequiarum), a funeral or burial ceremony.
It was, most probably, written in 1733 for the death of King August II the Strong (12/05/1670 – 31/01/1733) of Poland, and his funeral held at Wawel, in Krakow, seven months later (early September 1733).
