Aunque varios estudiosos han considerado que las versiones polifónicas de "Circumdederunt me" fueron libremente compuestas como motetes extralitúrgicos para su interpretación durante la misa, no las reconocieron como piezas específicos de la liturgia. No obstante, este texto se interpretó en España y América Latina como un invitatorio alternativo para las Matinas de los Difuntos, ya sea antes o en lugar del invitatorio romano estándar prescrito, "Regem cui omnia vivunt".Church Music Association of America202420242008info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.academia.edu/20081882https://hdl.handle.net/10953/2818reponame:RUJA.
