Commentary:

Prager Morgenpost 12/4/1862 reported that ‘Tomorrow, on Palm Sunday, is being performed in the Church of the Knights of the Cross at 7am Krejčí’s Passion chorus composed for this day, together with a vocal Mass by Führer and an offertorium by M. Haydn.’ No further details were given by the source. The performance was almost certainly directed by Krejčí, at this time the director of the chorus at this church.
