Why are some Moravian tunes associated with certain social groups (“Single Women,” etc.)?

This relates to the Posaunenchor’s role in traditional Moravian funeral practice. When there was a death in a Moravian community, the Posaunenchor would first play the tune 151A “Passion Chorale” (i.e., O Sacred Head Now Wounded), which would announce that a death had occured.
