Dedications: Concl. Kyrie: A M D G B V M OO SS H AA P I R 16 Decem | 1726;
Concl. Gloria: A M D G OO SS B V M H AA P I R. Dresdae li 20 [missing] |1726;
Concl. Credo: A M D G VV M OO SS H AA P in R. li 23 Decem | 1726. Sequitur Sanctus.
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score and parts for the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus are listed for Messa: No: 2) Messa Nativitatis (III/Z/8/1). The incipits for the Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus almost match those given for Messa: No: 9) Missa Charitatis, ZWV 10: III/Z/9/4 (with horns replacing trumpets).
This mass was first produced on the second day of the Christmas triduum, 1726. On that day (26.12.1726: S. Stephani Protomartyr) the Dresden Diarium Missionis reported: ‘Cantatum cum assistentia. . . . fuerunt intradae. Musicam produxit D. Zelenka’.
See Zelenka-Dokumentation, 130, Nr. 40; 286, ZWV 8.
This is probably the mass entered into the Breitkopf non-thematic catalogues (Michaelmesse 1761; Ostermesse 1769) as: Missa à 2 Corni, 2 Flauti, 2 Oboi, 2 Violini, Viola, 4 Voci, Basso e Organo. a 4 thl. (1761); — Kyrie cum Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Osanna & Agnus à 2 Corni, 2 Flauti, 2 Oboi, 2 Violini, Viola, 4 Voci, e Fondamento. P. 5 thl. St. 4 thl. 12 gl. (1769).
