See Stockigt in ‘After Six Weeks’ where it is suggested that this was one of two masses prepared by Zelenka for Maria Josepha’s churching ceremony (Kirchgang/Ingressus) held at Hubertusburg (1.11.1739) following the birth of Saxon Prince Clemens Wenceslaus (b 28.9.1739). The mass performed on that occasion has not been verified.
Horn (Hkm, 175) notes that Zelenka’s revisions to this mass concern instrumentation, performance details including dynamics and articulation, and occasional rhythmic alterations. Also see, Die wichtigsten Schreiber, 165, where the principal copyist is identified as ZS 2 (post 1730) together with Zelenka and ZS 1 (post ZS 0—from the early 1730s), Identified by Jóhannes Ágústsson as 'Scheffler' (ZS 1) and 'Seipt' (ZS 2) in an abstract (2021) titled ‘Scheffler and Seipt: Zelenka Copyists ‘ZS 1’ and ‘ZS 2’ Revealed’.' (Citation required).
Performance parts are entered into this Catalogo of 1765 as a work by Zelenka (see listing III/Z/11/2).
Incipits are given in Zelenka-Dokumentation, 48–9, Nr. 31.
