Published May 30, 2026.

The Evensong or first part of the Office was in like manner known by the name of Placebo from the anthem with which it opens, Placebo Domino in regione vivorum, being Psalm 116:9.”
8Note added: “Services of remembrance, performed a month after death or interment. The custom was that there should be monthminds and yearminds that the dead might be remembered and prayed for. See Thomas Becon, The Sick Man’s Salve, in Prayers and Other Pieces of Thomas Becon (Parker Society), 126. The Office of the Dead was used on these occasions, and the rubrics in it direct certain variations to be made in die trecennali, others in anniversariis, others again in trigintalibus (trentals). The services were often very costly. See John Brand, Observations on the Popular Antiquities of Great Britain, 2:314.”
