The German "Singmesse", in its classic form, originated in efforts toward a German-language celebration of the Mass during the Enlightenment era, especially in southern Germany and in Austria, in areas influenced by Josephinism. Together with the Augustinian canon and musician Norbert Hauner, the dean of the Herrenchiemsee abbey, Franz Seraph von Kohlbrenner published his book of songs and prayers "Der heilige Gesang zum Gottesdienste in der römisch-katholischen Kirche. Erster Theil", which presented the liturgy in the German language, at Landshut in 1777. In this book for the first time the service is conceived as a "Singmesse", a form of Mass sung by the faithful. The still popular Advent hymn "Tauet, Himmel, den Gerechten", for example, appears here as an offertory song during the Sundays of Advent.
