Remarks
Missing from Dresden since the 19th century.
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score and parts are listed under 5 Motetti: No: 6): “de temp[ore], Basso solo, oboe 2, Corni di Caccia 2 Viola et Basso Conti:”
The text is taken from the Czech translation of Psalm 150 as published in the Protestant Kralická Bible, which Jaroslav Smolka (Prague, 1990) reported as being banned in Bohemia at that time. ‘De tempore’ means that the work might be performed at any time of the Temporal Cycle of the church calendar.
Ferdinand Tadra (1844–1910), historian and organizing member of the Prague choral society Hlahol, was probably responsible for arranging the loan from Dresden of Zelenka’s autograph of Chvalte boha silného, which was performed in Prague in 1895.
See Jana Vojtéšková, ‘Die Zelenka-Überlieferung’, 97. Also Zelenka-Dokumentation, 303, ZWV 166.
