J.D Zelenka - De Profundis, ZWV 97 {Urtext score.}

#jan #dismas #zelenka #score #sheetmusic #zwv #97
Urtext score to the first version of the final and most profound De Profundis /Psalm 130/ setting of Zelenka, scored for very large instrumental forces and heavily utilizing the mellow sound of Trombones, this work may be the most beautiful in the tragic sense in all baroque music, there being very little to nothing expressed without a sense of sorrow, a work only unified by the ingenious use of counterpoint.
This masterpiece was composed in the year 1724, after the death of his father Jiří Zelenka, and with the permission of Baron von Mordaxt, Directeur des plaisirs of the Dresden court, arranged to have the music performed in memoriam of him, on March the 1st, in that same year.
