Continuous Verse cycles - Auf meinen lieben Gott

a collection of manuscripts in the Rätsbucherei, Lüneburg.

The Lüneburg Tablatures, including Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 209.
The Pelplin Tablatures, a collection of manuscripts from the Pelplin Monestary.
The Canzona by Tunder is located in a manuscript currently housed in the Universitetsbibliotek, Uppsala.

Other theorized works

Two chorale fantasias from the Pelplin Tablatures are theorized to be by Franz Tunder by Klaus Beckmann, despite the composer "H.S.M." being written^[2]. He also theorized that the anonymous Magnificat octavi toni (also a chorale fantasia) from the Zellerfeld Tablatures no.1 is by Tunder^{[Citation needed]}.

The first praeludium in D-Lr Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 207/16, which is anonymous, has been described as being reminiscent of Tunder^[3].
