Score / sheet music to Zelenka's "Missa Corporis Domini" setting, /Z. 3/, a early but brilliant Mass setting, which probably dates from 1719 and was composed shortly after Zelenka’s return to Dresden from Vienna, where he studied counterpoint with the famous imperial Kapellmeister Johann Joseph Fux. It is an incomplete setting of the mass ordinary, as it lacks the Gloria. Even in this relatively early work we can already notice Zelenka’s originality and excellent command of counterpoint. In 1727, Zelenka wrote another composition with the same title, Missa Corporis Domini, but it bears the catalogue number /Z. 9/, and Zelenka chose the festive key D major for it.
The exclusion of the entire Gloria and Credo were also excluded from both Missa Divi Xaverii and Missa Sancti Josephi, /Z. 12+14/ respectively, and so the reasons for these omissions are possibly due to the requirements specific to the occasions for which these three masses were composed.
