Remarks
Mus. 2397-D-1: Bound score copy with cover.
Cover title: Messa de Sgl Franc: Durante.
The Credo is by an unknown/unidentified Roman composer.
Title page: Partitura | Messa | A’ Cinque Voci con Strum[en]ti | Concertata | Del Sigr Francesco Durante.
Zelenka’s hand is seen throughout this score which he ‘stretched’ so as to create a Missa tota, The insert of the Quoniam in his hand is written on paper with a tre lunae watermark. See Bacciagaluppi & Stockigt, ‘Italian Manuscripts of Sacred Music in Dresden’, 150–51.
On physical aspects of this score, and on the origins of the Credo, see Bacciagaluppi, ‘Rom, Prag, Dresden: Pergolesi und die Neapolitanische Messe’, 161–6, esp. 161–3 on Zelenka’s reworkings. Mus. 2397-D-1a is a copy of the same Kyrie and Gloria, not catalogued in the Catalogo of 1765. Bound in the 19th century. This Italian copy bears the stamp of the Bibliotheca Musica Regia and pencil mark: A 75.
It is possible that this was among the scores as purchased in Naples and/or Rome during the grand tour of Saxon Prince Friedrich Christian (May 1738–October 1739).
Incipits given in Zelenka-Dokumentation, 55, Nr. 88a.
