Remarks
Score copy in the hands of Zelenka and one other scribe. Blue-grey wrapper. Parts are missing from Dresden.
Cover title (hand of Zelenka): bC (upper left) Nro (none given; upper right); Miserere Mei Deus | à 4 | Violin 2 | Viola | e | Basso Continuo | di S. G. K. | NB: Nihil Valet (in another hand) indicated the worthlessness of this score.
Caption title: Miserere mei Deus.
Zelenka’s hand (post late-1728/early 1729) is seen throughout this score copy (also the hand of Zelenka’s student, Gottlob Harrer).
Wolfgang Horn (Hkm, 139) notes that Zelenka reworked these three settings of ‘G. K.’ so drastically that it’s difficult to recognise what was required for the copying of parts. He also finds it to be astonishing that Zelenka put so much effort into such mediocre works, noting that the extent of Zelenka’s revision almost equals a new composition. See also Horn’s discussion ‘Mus. 2251–E–1 bis E–3: Kolberer (?), drei “Miserere” ’ in Zelenka-Studien I, 182–3.
Although the three Miserere entries by ‘G. K.’ are tentatively attributed to Kolberer in RISM and in the Zelenka-Dokumentation (33), I propose these settings to be the work of a composition student of Zelenka. See also the Miserere settings of Harrer (I/H/30/2), Uhlig (Ulich: III/U/3/3), and Villicus (III/V/4/7).
Incipit of Miserere (c) attributed to Kolberer is given in Zelenka-Dokumentation, 57, Nr. 121b.
