There are at present two known sources for this work. The first is a manuscript in the Bibliothek der Stadt Kassel (see above for link). Title page: "Geistliche Hochzeit-Freude auss dem Propheten Jesaia cap. 61 ... auff dero hochzeitlichen Ehrentag den 23. Februarii Anno 1643. gehalten. à 6. ò[vero]. 3. Autore Johann Vierdanck, org. ad S. Mariaen in Stralsundt." It is unknown whether this manuscript is an autograph manuscript.
RISM's link for this work is for the Swedish Stadsbibliotek, Växjö. It is for a print published in 1643 by Jakob Jeger, and it is for soprano or tenor, 2 violins, continuo. There is no mention of the other vocal parts, nor of the trombone parts. Since 1643 is within Vierdanck's lifetime, it is assumed this version had his approval.
This page is tagged for both options, until such time as more is known about whether the manuscript at Kassel is by a copyist or by Vierdanck himself.
