4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Jan Dismas Zelenka Jan Dismas Zelenka questions and answers about his life and music. http://www.jdzelenka.net/FAQ.htm

Jan Dismas Zelenka, baroque composer: born Lounovice 1679, died Dresden 1745. Q. Why did Zelenka's music disappear into obscurity for 200 years? A. This is discussed at length in Janice Stockigt's book . After Zelenka's death, much of his music was "kept under lock and key" by the Dresden court, and the reasons for this are not clear. Telemann is known to have written of ZWV 55 ( Responsoria ) being guarded jealously "as something very rare" (a more complete translation is given below). Copies of certain works (which had presumably been given away while Zelenka was alive) were made after his death and ended up in different parts of Germany and Czechoslovakia. There were even a few performances in the 1800s. Perhaps one of the strongest reasons for the obscurity of Zelenka's music was that Catholic liturgical music had no place in a Lutheran society. Q. How many composers of his time did Zelenka actually meet? A. Perhaps it is more relevant to ask which composers he didn't meet! Between 1716 and 1719, he studied under Fux in Vienna and had Quantz as his student. Zelenka would also have met Antonio

9. Jan Dismas Zelenka: A Biographical Note jan dismas zelenka Biography covers his Dresden Court employment and compositions. http://www.baroquemusic.org/bqxzelenka.html

BAROQUE COMPOSERS AND MUSICIANS Jan Dismas ZELENKA Capellmeister from 1617 to 1672. In the early 1700s, composers, impresarios, famous singers, and instrumental virtuosos came from all over Europe, including the eastern countries, and Dresden's display of splendor as the "Florence on the Elbe," the predominant center of music and the arts in 17th- and 18th-century Germany, reached its zenith during the reign of Augustus the Strong (1670-1733) as Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. Born in Loudovice, Bohemia in 1679 and son of an organist, Jan Dismas Zelenka was educated at the Prague Jesuit College, with which he continued to remain in contact. In 1710, he moved to Dresden, where he became principal double-bass player of the Dresden court orchestra. Apart from specific journies to Italy, Vienna and periodic returns to Prague, Zelenka would remain in Dresden for the rest of his life. In 1697, the King-Elector Augustus the Strong of Saxony had assumed the Polish crown, a step that obliged him to adopt the Roman Catholic faith although Saxony was predominantly Lutheran. Thus the Royal Court at Dresden maintained two religious "faces", on the one hand honoring strictly Lutheran Bach with the title of Royal Court Composer , and on the other hand bestowing on Zelenka the title of Court Composer of Church Music for his numerous sacred works composed for the Dresden Catholic Church. So we find in Zelenka's surviving compositions numerous sacred works, some 30 masses, psalms, and three oratorios with biblical subjects, totaling in all some 150 works, side by side with secular instrumental compositions reflecting his role in the Court Orchestra, of which he became conductor for five seasons.

Z ZELENKA, JAN DISMAS BIOGRAPHY The Bohemian composer Jan Dismas Zelenka played the double bass in the royal orchestra in Dresden, whence he was despatched for study in Italy, eventually returning to spend the rest of his life in the Saxon capital. It was expected that he would succeed Heinichen as court Kapellmeister, but the position went, instead, to Hasse, and Zelenka remained, now as Church Composer, a position of much less importance. He won the admiration of distinguished contemporaries, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, for his use of counterpoint, his harmonic imagination and originality, and made some use of Bohemian folk elements. Orchestral Music Zelenka's orchestral compositions include a set of five Capriccios, among other compositions in the musical idiom of his time. Vocal and Choral Music Much of Zelenka's surviving work is in the form of sacred vocal music, settings of the Mass or of movements from the Mass, of psalms and of canticles.

In 1710 he joined the band of Dresden's Hofkapelle as a player of the double-bass. In 1717 Zelenka obtained leave of absence to study with Fux in Vienna (during which time he also taught counterpoint to Quantz ). That same year Zelenka accompanied the Elector to Italy where he studied with Lotti . Zelenka's works include Masses oratorios motets Psalms , and other church music. Zelenka is mentioned in a letter (1775) from Carl Philipp Emanuel to Forkel as one whose works his father had regarded highly in his later years. var site="sm4WellTemperedClavier" Bach's World Contemporaries Chronology

He wrote no operas and few instrumental works, but a great body of sacred music for the Catholic court at Dresden plus a few choice secular works. His music is characterized by passus duriusculus chromatic descent. Another distinguishing characteristic is slow triplets not infrequently used by Zelenka, though rarely heard in the works of better known late baroque composers. Links Discover Zelenka by Alistair H.

In Dresden , Zelenka initially assisted the Kapellmeister, Johann David Heinichen, and gradually assumed Heinichen's duties as his health declined. After Heinichen died in 1729, Zelenka applied for the prestigious post of Kapellmeister. The post went, instead, to Johann Adolf Hasse. In 1735 Zelenka was named a mere church music composer.
