Zelenka’s Missa votiva (ZWV 18) is the final Mass listing (non-autograph) in his Inventarium. From certain remarks written on the score it is known that the composer had suffered illness from which he recovered during 1739. The inscription on the title page (given above) translates as ‘I will pay my vows to the Lord, before all his people’. Further dedications and remarks on the score are:
Head of Kyrie: A M D G B M V OO SS H AA R[?] I R;
Conclusion of Gloria: O A M D G B M V OO SS H AA P I R;
Head of Credo: O A M † D G B M V OO SS H AA P I R;
Conclusion of Credo: A M D G B M V OO SS H A P I R
Conclusion Osanna: A M D G B V M OO SS H AA P I R.
At the conclusion of the autograph score Zelenka noted that the work was composed to the ‘Greater Glory of God in fulfillment of a vow: ‘Missam hanc A M D G ex voto posuit J D Z post recuperatum Deo Fautore Salutem.’
NB: The Diarium of the Dresden Jesuits reported on 2.7.1739 (Feast of the Visitation BVM) that Zelenka produced a new mass. (Sacrum novum produxit D. Zelenka).
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’(c1784), a score and parts for the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus are listed as [Messa] No: 13), Messa Votiva (III/Z/10/4).
Concordance:
CZ-Pkřiž, XXXV D 80. Fourteen parts for the complete Missa votiva, and ten parts for the Kyrie and Gloria of this mass were held by the music library of the Prague Kreuzherren. Second quarter of the 18th c. RISM ID no. 550255329.
See Zelenka-Dokumentation, 147, Dok. 70; 288, ZWV 18 and (eds. R. Kubik, Th. Kohlhase), EdM 108, 1997. Also see Kohlhase , ‘Der Dresdener Hofkirchenkomponist’, 150-52. Also Stockigt, ‘The Missa votiva’ (43–8), where it is suggested that Sarro’s setting of the text ‘Gratias agimus tibii’ (seen in D-Dl, Mus. 2356-D-1 / Mus. 2358-D-42) provided the model for Zelenka‘s setting of the same text.
The Credo of this Mass was published by Johann Friedrich Rochlitz in his 'Sammlung vorzüglicher Gesangstücke ... Dritter Band ... vom Jahr 1700 bis um das Jahr 1760, 2te Abtheilung (Mainz: Schott’s Sons), 59–70.
