Remarks
Autogr. score with grey-blue cover.
Cover title (autogr.): a # (upper left); Nro 9 (upper right) | Gaude laetare | Mottetto à Tenore Solo | VV 2 2 | Oboe 2 | Viola | e | Basso Continuo | di | G: D: Zelenka.
No dedication.
Concl. of score: Dresda | 17 Maii 1731.
NB: To his listing of this work in the Inventarium, Zelenka added: ‘de SS: Trinitate’.
Although listed in the Catalogo (1765) as a soprano solo, originally this work was composed for tenor – subsequently altered from tenor to soprano, probably for one of the two male soprano castrati of the Hofkapelle: Ventura Rochetti (‘Venturini’) or Giovanni Bindi. A similar re-scoring by Zelenka for soprano of a work originally set for solo tenor occurred with the psalm setting Laudate pueri (D-Dl, Mus. 2358-D-67; ZWV 81).
Jóhannes Ágústsson, in ‘The Secular Vocal Collection of Jan Dismas Zelenka’ (19–20), suggests that this was sung as a ‘debut’ work written by Zelenka for the tenor Johann Joseph Götzel who only recently had entered the Dresden Hofkapelle. Together with Tobias Butz (Putz) Johann Joseph Götzel had previously been engaged as a horn player in the personal Hoffstadt of Saxon Electoral Prince Friedrich August II (later August III) and Maria Josepha. See Ágústsson and Stockigt, ‘The Eestablishment ofthe Catholic Cemetery in Dresden’, 42,45, 57.

In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score and parts are listed under 5 Motetti: No: 1) Gaude laetare (III/Z/13/15). NB: There, the scoring given is: ‘à Tenore Solo co’VVni, Oboi, Vla ed Org.’
