Jan Dismas Zelenka’s Missa Sancti Josephi occupies a key position among his circa twenty large masses. In this mass, probably composed in 1732 for a feast of a Saint (thus, without a Credo), for the first time the composer took up the operatic style of Johann Adolf Hasse – the latter had first performed his opera Cleofide in Dresden in 1731. Zelenka’s unmistakable individuality created a completely independent work with great technical demands which in many details presages the important masses among his late works. The sole source for the first edition of this mass, published here for the first time, is a considerably damaged autograph score which. It is preserved in the Sächsische Landes- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden. For the Carus edition the experienced Zelenka scholar Wolfgang Horn has expertly reconstructed the missing passages.

Translation: Gudrun & David KosvinerThe Bohemian Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679–1745) was a double bass player and composer in the service of the Dresden court during the reign of Augustus the Strong (1694–1733) and his son Frederic Augustus II (1733–1763). Today, he is rightly regarded as one of the most important composers of late Baroque orchestral masses who brought the development of the so-called “number mass” type to its culmination. In 1733, J. S. Bach dedicated a mass of this type – the Mass in B minor (BWV 232/I), consisting of Kyrie and Gloria – to the heir to the throne of Dresden. The masses of Zelenka and his Dresden colleague Johann

Der Böhme Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679–1745) war Kontrabassist und Komponist in Diensten des Dresdner Hofes zur Zeit Augusts des Starken (1694–1733) und seines Sohnes Friedrich August II. (1733–1763). Er gilt heute zu Recht als einer der bedeutendsten Komponisten spätbarocker Orchestermessen, die den Typus der sogenannten „Nummernmesse“ zu seiner höchsten Entfaltung gebracht haben. J. S. Bach hat 1733 dem Dresdner Thronfolger eine Messe dieses Typs gewidmet, die Missa in h-Moll (BWV 232/I), bestehend aus Kyrie und Gloria. Die Messen Zelenkas und seines Dresdner Kollegen Johann David Heinichen (1683–1729) gaben die Umrisse vor, in denen Bach seine eigene Kunst entfalten konnte.

Composer
Jan Dismas Zelenka
| 1679-1745The Bohemian composer Jan Dismas Zelenka was a double bass player and church music composer at the Saxon court of the Elector August the Strong and his son Friedrich August II. In the years after 1721 he composed an extensive repertoire of Catholic church music together with the Kapellmeister Johann David Heinichen. These works, together with the Dresden operas composed by Johann Adolf Hasse in quick succession from 1731 onwards, established the reputation of the Saxon court as one of the most important musical centers of the late Baroque period.
