Both forms of the bass clef are seen in this very brief setting of 99 bars – an indication that is was written during the transitional period between the end of 1728 and beginning of 1729 when Zelenka moved from using his early to a later form of the clef.
This short, simple setting on an ostinato bass was almost certainly intended for performance by the Kapellknaben of the Dresden Catholic court church. On these ‘Psalmi separati’ see III/Z/23/1. Also see Stockigt, ‘Hinweise auf die Originalaufführungen von Zelenkas Vesperpsalmen’, Zelenka-Studien II, 101–43, and ‘The Vespers Psalms of Jan Dismas Zelenka’, App. 1, ZWV 73. See also Zelenka-Dokumentation, 116–21.
In the ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score and parts are listed under the heading Confitebor (III/Z/21/2).
