Caption title: Aria in Poro Hendel (pencil). This copy, from the Dresden Hofkirche (Stamp: Sachs. Landesbibliothek. Depositum der Kath. Hofkirche), might be the source from which Zelenka made an adaptation for Christmas Eve.

On Zelenka’s reworking of Handel’s secular aria as a sacred motet see Stockigt, ‘Handel Borrowed: Handel’s operatic aria “Son confusa pastorella” refashioned as a sacred motet “Huc pastores properate” by Jan Dismas Zelenka’ in Händel-Jahrbuch 56 (2010), 219–35. Agustsson (‘The Secular Vocal Collection of Jan Dismas Zelenka’, 41) suggests that the alto castrato Campioli of the Dresden court was probably responsible for the transmission of the aria, and may well have sung the motet after his return to Dresden from London in late 1732.
