The composition has survived uniquely in the music library of the Einsiedeln Abbey. The manuscript copy written in 1744 originates from a Benedictine Abbey, which was dissolved in 1803. Second part of the composition, the fugue "Benedictus Dominus", is an arrangement of the closing fugue of the offertorium "Benedicite gentes" op. 2/4, Brk 26, where the bars 84–111 and both violin parts were left out from the original composition.
