Versets (Quadragesima)

In the later (?) source containing ten of these duets which survives in Dresden (D-Dl, Mus. 2955-E-500: II/R/29/1), a setting of this text (O signum libertatus) is also listed as No. 3. (The incipit given in this catalogue is faulty).
Mengelberg, under ‘Die übrigen Kirchenwerke’ (149) notes this work as: Duetti per la Quadr[agesi]ma Soprano e Contralto col Organo. Nr. 3. O Signum libertatis. Dresd. Mus. (K. H.)*.
Thus, Mengelberg found this work in the Königl. Bibliothek zu Dresden. See II/R/17/1.
Reports for 1736, 1738, 1740 in the Dresden Diarium Missionis almost certainly refer to performances in the Dresden Catholic court church of items from this collection of Duetti per la Quadragesima:
17.2.1736 [Friday before QUADRAGESIMAE]: Hora 4. ... cantus de Passione, unum duetto cum theorba.
23.2.1738 [Dominica I. in Quadragesima]: ... Sequitur cantus 2 virtuosorum cum theorba.
Diarium, 18.3.1740: See II/R/28/5.
Zelenka listed ‘5 Duetti: pro Quadragesi. a C. e A: Ristori in his Inventarium (57)
On these settings, see Gerhard Poppe, Foreword to Giovanni Alberto Ristori: Divoti Affetti alla Passione di Nostro Signore.
