Unbound autogr. damaged score of a mass without Credo. Parts are missing.
Two labels corresponding with the Hofkirche catalogues of 1765 and c1784 are kept with the score.
Catalogo (1765): Schranck No. III | Z. 8. Fach 3. Lage | No: 8.) Messa | senza Credo | à 4 voci | co’ VVni, Viola, Basso, | Flauti, Corni, 2. Trombe, Timp: | Partitura e parti | del Sigr Zelencka |
Catalogo (c1784): Schranck No. III | Lit. Z. 9. Fach 3. Lage | No: 8) Messa | senza Credo | à 4 voci | co’ VVni, Viola, Fl. Corni | Trombe Timp: ed Org. | Partitura e parti | del Sigr Zelencka | Incipit (which deviates slightly from the incipit shown in the Catalogo 1765).
Pagination of the autograph begins with the Quoniam, followed by the Kyrie eleison; Christe eleison; Kyrie eleison: Gloria: Sanctus; Agnus Dei.
Concl. of score: O A M D G B V M OO SS H AA P [?].
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) score and parts for the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, and Agnus are listed for [Messa:] No: 8) Messa senza Credo (III/Z/9/3).
Zelenka’s remark ‘facta occasione onomasticae dies S: M: Principesse ac Domine nostrae’ acknowledges that this mass was composed for the name-day of Maria Josepha before she became Queen when her husband, Friedrich August II, was elected King of Poland (October 1733). Wolfgang Horn (‘Opera, aria and Zelenka: Remarks on a Special relationship’, Clavibus unitis 4 (2015), 61) concludes that this mass probably was composed in 1732. Although both the birth- and name-day of Maria Josepha was always shown in the Galla-Tage lists of the HStCal as 8 December (Feast of the Conception BVM within the octave of St Francis Xavier), her name day also came to be celebrated on the feast of St Joseph (19 March). In the 1738 annual letter to Rome from Dresden it was stated that St Joseph (19 March) was Maria Josepha’s saint, (Annuae Literae Missionis Dresdensis ad annum 1738 (ARSI (I-Rar), Boh 157, 44). However, the HStCal continued to list 8 December as her birth and name day to be celebrated ‘in Galla’.
No dedication copy of this mass is known at present, and the work is unlisted in royal music catalogues.
See Zelenka-Dokumentation, 287, ZWV 14.
The inclusion in the scoring of flutes, two horns, two clarini, and timpani suggests that perhaps this mass once was held by Sehling titled Missa sanctae conversationis (now missing in CZ-Pak). See Štefan ([1468] Sign. ?), prov. Joseph Antonín Sehling.
