Remarks
Mus. 2358-D-7a/7b : Autogr. score of a Missa tota which shows at least three (or more) workings: the original version of 1711, the version of 1712 (some changes to instrumentation), and revisions made either late in c1727 or 1728. These are noted in a lighter ink. A blue-grey wrapper is kept with the score. Parts are missing.
Cover title (autogr.): Nro 21 upper right (this number agrees with the number given in Zelenka’s Inventarium) Missa Sanctae | Caeciliae | à 4 | di Giov: Disma | Zelenka.
The estimated date of the revision is made on the basis of the combination of Zelenka’s notation of the bass clef which changed between late 1728 and early 1729; his use of a stroke (instead of a #) with the figure 4 to indicate that the interval is to be raised in the figures added to the original working at the time of the re-working), and the sign to separate systems of the score, a change first seen in his scores of c1725. These features are best demonstrated in Zelenka’s rewriting of the movement ‘Cum Sanctus Spiritus’ (especially pp. 31–37). Zelenka’s revisions involve transposition of ‘Et unam sanctum’ and changing the original soprano vocal solo to alto (as well as minor alterations to the violin obbligato), and ‘Et vitam’ (Credo); and the addition of settings of Sanctus; Osanna; Agnus Dei.
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score and parts for the Kyrie, Gloria,Credo, Sanctus and Agnus are listed as [Messa] No: 15), Messa S. Caeciliae (III/Z/11/2). A pencilled note on the back cover of the original wrapper reads: ‘Fach 11. Lage 2 – a reference to the place of storage of this source in the later Catalogo of c1784.
Dedication: Zelenka’s autograph dedication to Friedrich August, I which precedes the score, reads:
Missa S: Caeciliae: Augustissimo Poloniarum Regi FRIDRICO AUGUSTO (praeparante prius ad hoc viam Serenissimo Principe Egone de Fristenberg [Fürstenberg] Saxoniae Locumtenentis Regii, Maximo semper meo Patrono ac Dno) in summa veneratione dedicata et coram eadem Maiestate Regia humillime juxta ac fructuose (si quidem jam dicta Regia Maiestas reflectendo supra tenuem hanc laborem meum ordinarium solax [solacium] meum centum Imperialibus annue gratiosissime augmentavit) producta Dresdae AD: 1712. à Joanne Disma Zelenka Musico Regio.
Zelenka’s autogr. petition to Friedrich August I (written in German) requesting to be sent to France and Itsly which accompanied the score of c1712 is now kept with a copy of the mass made by Franz Hauser in 1826 (‘Missa Sollemnis’) in Vienna (A-Wn, Sign 15773).
Perhaps the indication [–.] under Partitura for the entry of this mass in the Catalogo (1765) implies that in 1765 the parts were either incomplete or a defective set existed.
Mus. 2358-D-8 is a bound score copy of Missa Sanctae Caeciliae in the hand of Philipp Troyer. It is a variant of Mus. 2358-D-7a. The title page (non-autogr.) of Mus. 2358-D-8 reads: Serenissimo ac Potentissimo | Poloniarum Reg | FREDERICO Augusto. | Electori Saxoniae &. | Domino Domino | suo | Clementissimo | humillimó | D. D. D. | subjectissimum obsequentissimum | humillimumque mancipium | Joannes Dismas | Zelenka. Cammer: Musicus. Inner cover: (pencil) Ars Mus. B ??6/ Ars Mus. 49a. A stamp of the Königl. öffentlichen Bibliothek (1806–1917) is seen on the title and opening page of the score ; at the conclusion Mus. B. 258 (pencil) is written.
See Zelenka-Dokumentation, 103, Dok. 2; 285, ZWV 1a; ZWV 1b.
In 1712 several movements were reworked by Zelenka and taken into his sepulchro oratorio of that year: Attendite et videte (ZWV 59).
