In 1740 Zelenka began a final large-scale project of the composition of six masses (the ‘Missae ultimae’), a project which was not completed. In that year he composed the first of these. See III/Z/12/3.
Missa Dei Filii was probably written between late 1740 and early February 1741.
Dedication: Concl. of Gloria: A M D G B V M OO SS H | [P I R?].
At the time of viewing this source the original blue-grey wrapper to the Gloria was kept at the back of the score.
Two labels which correspond to the catalogues of 1765 and c1784 are attached to the front cover of this wrapper: Schranck No. III. | Lit. Z. 12. Fach 9. Lage | No: 26) Gloria | à 4 voci (insert in pencil: ex ?) | co’ VVni, Viola, ed Org. | Partitura sola | defect | del Sigr Zelencka | Incipit.
A label which corresponds to this Catalogo (1765) is also attached to this wrapper: Schranck No. III. | Z. 12. Fach 4. Lage | Gloria | à 4 voci | co’ VVni, Viola e Basso, Partitura sola defect | del Sigr Zelencka | Incipit.
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) a score only is listed for [Messa:] No: 26) Gloria (III/Z/12/9). The scoring is given as: ‘à 4 voci co’ VVni. Oboi, Viola ed Org.’ The listing has the indication ‘defect’. The Kyrie from Missa Dei Filii, C Major (Mus. 2358-D-15,1) is unlisted in the Catalogo (1765). However, the Kyrie and ‘Cum Sancto Spirito’ fugue are entered in the later Catalogo of c1784 (scoring as for the Gloria), preceded by the Christe eleison setting: III/Z/8/2.
On this Mass, see Zelenka-Dokumentation, 149, Dok. 72; 288, ZWV 20 and (edd. P. Horn, Th. Kohlhase), EdM 100, 1989). Also Patricia Corbin, ‘Missa Dei Filii ZWV 20: An Introduction to the Late Masses of Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679–1745)’, 9–32.
