The autograph score of Zelenka's Missa Charitatis in D Major, /Z. 10/.
This mass belongs to the works whose creation falls into the period of Zelenka's extraordinary creative boom in the 1720s and the early 1730s . At that time, Zelenka frequently performed the duties of court Kapellmeister instead of the ill Johann David Heinichen /1683-1729/.
The Missa Charitatis was probably written in 1727, and it's name refers to God's love and mercy. As it is typical of Zelenka's compositions from this period, we find rich instrumentation in this mass. Besides the vocal parts of the soloists with choir and stringed instruments, Zelenka added three groups of wind instruments here. There is the usual part of two oboes, but then in the 'Domine deus', he added one more oboe to create a trio. There are also two horns with technically extremely demanding concert parts. In this context, it is important to point out that the horn players in the Dresden court ensemble were also musicians from Bohemia.
A significant change in character and timbre at the end of the mass is brought by the 'Benedictus', which is conceived as a dialogue between between solo soprano and alto against two transverse flutes with a simple continuo accompaniment.
The demanding counterpoint and technically exposed parts of vocalists and instrumentalists are proof of the very high level of the Dresden court ensemble, whose possibilities Zelenka did not hesitate to fully utilize.
