See Freemanová & Stockigt, ‘Jan Dismas Zelenka and a Prague performance of San’t Elena al Calvario by Leonardo Leo’, where it is suggested that the first aria of the motet of three movements, ‘Barbara dira effera’, and the motet ‘Sollicitus fossor’ (ZWV 209) were inserted into Leo’s oratorio (‘San’t Elena al Calvario’) for a performance given at the Clementinum College Prague, 1734. It is also suggested that at a later time Zelenka added a recitative and final Allelulia aria to the aria Barbara dira effera for a performance in Dresden (possibly following the move to the Dresden Hofkapelle from Prague of the bassoonist Anton Möser, a one-time member of the Prague orchestra of Count Wenzel Morzin). See also the listing of ‘Sollicitus fossor’ (Mus. 2358-E-38): III/28/5.
NB: This score has the same watermark (pp. 33–4; 41-2) as those seen ‘Sollicitus fossor’ and ‘Qui nihil sortis’ (III/28/4)—both works by Zelenka but listed as anonymous compositions in the MUSICA SENZA NOME DELL'AUTORE section of the catalogues of 1765 and c1784.
Zelenka-Dokumentation, 303, ZWV 164.
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score and parts are listed under 5 Motetti: No: 3) Pro Resurrectionis Domini. Barbara dira (III/Z/13/17). There, the scoring given is: ‘à Contralto Solo co’VVni, Vla, Fag: concert: ed Org.’
