A hymnal appeared in Landshut in 1777, with the full title Der heilige Gesang zum Gottesdienste in der römisch-katholischen Kirche (The holy chant for the divine service in the Roman Catholic Church),Landshuter Gesangbuch: der heilige Gesang zum Gottesdienste in der röm.-kath. Kirche containing prayers and hymns in German for the church services and private contemplation. Franz Seraph von Kohlbrenner was the editor for the texts, for the musical part. The book offers no names of authors. It is assumed that Kohlbrenner and Hauner are the authors of all new songs in the hymnal.
