Masses

3.2.1741 (Credo)

Bound autogr. score of a Missa tota kept in four sections. In 1740 Zelenka began a final large-scale project which never was 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 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 Missa Dei Patris (Missa ultimarum prima, ZWV 19). See III/Z/12/3. Missa Dei Filii (Missa ultimarum secunda, ZWV 20: III/Z/12/4) followed. It was composed between Missa Dei Patris and this, the last-known mass of the series: Missa Omnium Sanctorum (Missa ultimarum sexta et forte omnium ultima, ZWV 21), whose Credo is dated 3 February 1741. Zelenka’s reason for naming Missa Omnium Sanctorum as the sixth Mass of the series is unclear, but it would seem that the third, fourth, and fifth masses remained unwritten.
Blue-grey covers are kept with the sections of this mass.

In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score only is listed for [Messa:] No: 27) Kyrie, Gloria. Credo, Sanctus, Agnus (III/Z/12/10). The scoring is given as: ‘à 4 voci co’ VVni. Viola ed Org.’ A margin note reads: Die Partitur ist am 19 Juny zur Copiatur gegeben worden. (This refers to the copy by Franz Hauser, now kept in Vienna: A-Wgm, Q 636).
Eitner notes that this work was kept in the royal collection (Die Kgl. Musikalien Samlg. in Dresd.) with catalogue numbers Ms. A 428 und 429. Today, these numbers are not visible on the covers to the mass sections of Mus. 2358-D-9.
