I am sure there are more, but am away from my books right now, so I can only contribute the 3 Equali for 4 Trombones (WoO 30 by Beethoven himself) and the Requiem by Cherubini.
Regards,

Thanks for your fast reaction.I think I am looking for a Kyrie.The Cherubini Requiem probably contains one.If you know any other...There is no hurry,so whenever you're near your books...
I will start checking the Cherubini Requiem.
My best regards.

The music consisted of a Chorale from William Tell by B.A.Weber. A 4 part chorus arrangement by Seyfried of Beethoven's Equali for Trombones set to words from the Psalms. The funeral march from the piano sonata Op.26. During the Church service a 16 voice male choir sang the hymn Libere me, Domine, de morte aeterna by Seyfried.

Two services for Beethoven were given the following week -

Mozart's requiem was sung on 3rd April 1827 at the Augustinerkirche
Cherubini's 1st requiem was performed at the Karlskirche on April 5th 1827
