Zelenka - Credo, ZWV 31

Описание: #jan #dismas #zelenka #score #sheetmusic #zwv #31
Score / sheet music of the Credo /Z. 31/ by Zelenka, who composed and acquired several Kyrie–Gloria Masses for the court at Dresden, where he was employed from the early 1710s. Dresden was the capital of the Electorate of Saxony: Saxony was dominantly Protestant, but the elector, Augustus the Strong, had converted to Catholicism in order to become eligible as king of Poland. Initially, Augustus's Catholicism was a private matter when in Saxony, with a court chapel within the palace building. In 1708, however, the former Opernhaus am Taschenberg, adjacent to the palace, opened as Hofkirche /court church/, open to the general public. Kyrie–Gloria Masses were seen as a Protestant practice, and thus the musicians of the Dresden court started to transform these mass compositions into Missae totae.

Between 1725 and 1733 Antonio Caldara's Missa Providentiae was converted in such a Missa tota: and Zelenka around 1728 added a Credo in four sections which is presented in this score video, for SATB soloists and choir, strings and continuo.

I: Credo in unum Deum - 00:00
II: Crucifixus - 3:25
III: Et resurrexit - 6:13
IV: Et unam, sanctam - 7:25
V: Amen (Fugue) - 8:30
