The autograph score to one of three Dixit Dominus settings by Jan Dismas Zelenka, /Z.68/, composed 1726. This larger festive setting in D Major with trumpets and timpani /only surviving in parts, not included in the autograph manuscript showcased in this video/.
Between mid 1725 and late 1728 the Bohemian-born, Dresden-based court musician Jan Dismas Zelenka /1679–1745/ composed three cycles of thirty-three psalms and Magnificat compositions for Vespers. Each cycle begins with a setting of the psalm Dixit Dominus and it then develops to serve one or more sequences of psalms to serve almost every Vespers service of the liturgical year. /Psalms for Saturday Vespers before the four Sundays of Advent, Saturday Vespers before Septuagesima, and Vespers of Wednesday of Holy Week, were not set by Zelenka/.
Composed in three movements, of which a figuration contained in the fugal subject of the concluding Amen which is also used in the Laetatus sum, /Z. 88/ of circa 1726, composed for the same Psalmi Vespertini cycle, an indication the two works are thematically linked.
