The
Missa Gratias agimus tibi
by Jan Dismas Zelenka was
composed in 1730, a
little before the Missa
Sancti Josephi (Carus
27.082), and is thus
already close to
Zelenka's late style. As
a festive mass, it is
scored with trumpets and
timpani, which, in the
spirit of courtly
splendour, are not silent
even in the Kyrie. 17
mostly shorter movements,
each with a very
different character, bear
witness to Zelenka's
inventiveness and make
the 30-minute mass an
exciting experience.
