Zelenka - Missa Sancti Josephi, ZWV 14 {Urtext score.}

#jan #dismas #zelenka #score #sheetmusic #zwv #14 Urtext score to Zelenka’s Missa “Sancti Josephi“, /Z. 14/, one of Zelenka’s larger, festive and more extravagant settings, with trumpets and timpani. Composed in 1731-32, the nucleus of the instrumentation consists of two groups of string instruments: 2 violins, viola (occasionally 2 violas), and basso continuo. The two violins were frequently doubled with oboes. On high feast days, a trumpet choir was added that consisted of 2, 3, or 4 trumpets /in Zelenka’s works always tuned in D/ and timpani. The “Missa Sancti Josephi“ /Z. 14/ has only been passed on in Zelenka’s autograph score, which is badly damaged but can be reconstructed with a little effort. No title page has been preserved, but from Zelenka’s handwritten catalogue of works that were performed in church services, which he had kept since 1726, it is possible to identify the title clearly. In Zelenka’s “Inventarium rerum musicarum Ecclesiae servientium“ /
