Remarks
Unbound autogr. score of a Missa tota. Nineteenth c. copies of the title page and pp. 3–4 of the score are kept with this Dresden source. These replacement sheets (damaged) were prepared by a Dresden copyist. The originals are held in Vienna (A-Wn, Sign 18363).
Title page (copy from Vienna): L: J: C: [ Laus Jesu Christo] MISSA ULTIMARUM PRIMA dicta MISSA DEI PATRIS, EIDEM MAGNO DEO CREATORI rerum omnium, ac Patri optimo, maximóque, In summa humilitate, In demississima veneratione In profundissima adoratione, corde contrito et humiliato (quod ille non despicit) consecrata; ab Infima, subjectissima indignissima sua creatura Joanne Disma Zelenka 1730 [sic]. Trans: ... FIRST OF THE FINAL MASSES named the MASS OF GOD THE FATHER, DEDICATED TO GOD THE GREAT CREATOR of all things, best and supreme Father, in deepest humility and humblest veneration, in most profound adoration, with a contrite and humbled heart (which He does not despise), by his lowest, most obedient, and most unworthy creature ...
In 1740 Zelenka began a final large-scale project which was never completed: in that year he composed the first of his Missae ultimae. No event presents itself for the composition of what was to be the beginning of this great unfinished cycle of Mass settings. On 21 September (the date is noted on the final page of the Mass), on the day before the departure of the court for Poland, Zelenka completed this Missa Dei Patris (Missa ultimarum prima, ZWV 19) whose title page is given above.
Missa Dei Filii (Missa ultimarum secunda, ZWV 20) and Missa Omnium Sanctorum (ZWV 21) followed. See III/Z/12/4 and III/Z/12/5.

In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) a score only is listed for Messa No: 25): Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus (III/Z/12/8). Parts are not shown. A note beneath the listing reads: ‘Ist am 19 Juny 1826 zur Copiatur gegeben übergeben worden | die Partitur allein ohne Stimmen.’
NB: The Prague source of this work is attributed to Ristori. See below.
