			Hieronymus Praetorius III was described as the ''magnae spei'' (great hope) to continue the legacy of his grandfather, and the sadness of his sudden death was exemplified by the writing of an epitaph by Johann Adolph Fabricus to remember him.

	A few pieces by him are known. In addition to a 6-part marriage motet ''Caecilia virgo gloriosa...''<ref "footnote8">Beckmann, ''Jacob Praetorius'', 9 footnote 8</ref>, a setting of the ''Magnificat Primi Toni'' ([[Zellerfeld Organ Tablatures]] vol.1 p.36-43: ''Magnificat / 1 Toni / Hieronymi / Praetorij.'') has been found by [[Klaus Beckmann]] to have been composed by him<ref>Beckmann, ''Hieronymus Praetorius'', 6.</ref>.

	However, [[Klaus Beckmann]] appears to be the first musicologist to have raised more serious questions about the authorship of this piece in his article ''Echtheitsprobleme im Repertoire des hanseatischen Orgelbarocks''. Actually, it seemed even more unlikely that this piece could have been composed by the same Hieronymus Praetorius that had composed the Magnificat settings in the [[Visby Tablature]]. There were unreconcilable differences between the two pieces that could not be the result of one piece being written during a later stage in the composer's career; most notably, the ''Zellerfeld Tablature'' Magnificat was written in four voices, while the Magnificats in the ''Visby Tablature'' (the supposedly earlier compositions) were written in a more advanced 5-part writing style. For this reason, it seemed unlikely that this could be a later work by the same composer.
