Description: In the manuscript source, this setting of the Nunc dimittis is the last of a group of 3 anonymous items for Compline. They are preceded by a group of Mass propers for Candlemas by Lassus and followed by another Nunc dimittis setting, also by Lassus, so this 8-part setting may well also be by Lassus.
