Národní listy 13/11/1861 reported that the ‘Annual requiem to celebrate the immortal memory of Josef Hungmann will take place on Saturday at 11pm [am] in the church of St Clement.’ A further note appeared in the newspaper on 16/11/1861 relating that the event was at 11 o'clock that morning. A brief review was published in Národní listy the following day. This reported that the service was given by the Canon of Vyšehrad, Father Štulc. The congregation was said to included members of both sexes and fro all levels of society, so that the church was full. Among the singers were Messrs Lukes, Maýr [see details of Dalibor 20/11/1861 review], Strakatý and Heller.

Prager Morgenpost 14/11/1861 reported that ‘Requiem. For a memorial celebration for the Czech lexicographer Josef Jungmann there will be given next Saturday at 11am in the St Clement’s church a requiem.’ On 17/11/1861 this newspaper published a brief review noting that ‘Yesterday after noon was celebrated in the St Clement church a requiem for the Czech lexicographer Jungmann. The church was full of worshipers. We also noted the Imperial delegate Dr Rieger and the parliamentarian Dr Palacký. During the ceremony Czech choruses were sung.’

The unsigned Dalibor 20/11/1861 review stated that contrary to reports published by the periodicals Čas and Národní listy, the solo vocalists in this performance did not include Mr Jan Nepomuk Maýr. The Dalibor critic strongly censured the organist performing in this service, noting that ‘on the organ played some queer little fellow, for whom it is perhaps the same thing to give a prelude to a chorale as to [give a prelude to] a frivolous ballade; for he seldom changed stops, or he left one pedal buzzing for perhaps twenty seconds, after that laboriously pulling at the stops, until finally he chose the superoctave and fifths. At such a grave moment, in a mass for a dear dead soul, he elected to fill with such bitter ignorance, and so there remains to us nothing more than to ask: Could not have been asked some skilled organist to this festival?’
