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.

Hodie Christus natus est II
Dankbare Aufgaben bieten die beiden Solomotetten des in Böhmen geborenen Zelenka, der in Dresden als Kirchenmusiker und Kapellmeister wirkte und als bedeutender tschechischer Barockkomponist gilt von dem neben vielen anderen Kirchenmusikwerken an die 20 Messen erhalten sind. Die vorliegenden Motetten für das Weihnachtsfest werden hier erstmals ediert und bestehen jeweils aus Rezitativ und Arie. In beiden Fällen handelt es sich um im Parodieverfahren bearbeitete frühere Nummern aus einem Schuldrama zu Ehren des hl. Wenzel.Quelle: Singende Kirche 2005, Heft 2, S.131
