Remarks
Missing in Dresden.
Notable is the interesting scoring indicated by Zelenka in his Inventarium entry: ‘Laudate pueri a 2 Canto e Basso | Violini 2, Oboe 2, Traversa 1, Vi |[o]la, Fagotto e Basso Continuo’. This is the only listing to specify the use of a bassoon (Fagotto) for a psalm setting and, with the following listing of Laetatus sum (ZWV 90), the only other work to include flute (Traversa) in the original scoring. From this scoring for solo soprano and bass it is likely that the setting is a work close to Zelenka’s vocal solo motet compositions of the 1730s. This was almost certainly composed after the arrival in Dresden (1730) of the castrati who had been trained in Italy for the revival of the Dresden opera. By 1765, when this work was entered into this Catalogo, the instrumentation had been modified, and the bassoon excluded from the scoring.
Between 1723 and 1733 a Laudate pueri setting by Zelenka was entered into the Osek catalogue. Renton, ‘The Musical Culture of Eighteenth-Century Bohemia’, 295.
