ZELENKA : Christe Eleison, E minor (ZWV29) Alex Porter

. Jan Dismas Zelenka (*16 October 1679 †23 December 1745) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Dismas_Zelenka Solo Motets CHRISTE ELEISON in E minor, for alto, 2 violins, viola & continuo in E minor, ZWV 29, 1740 Soloist: Alex Porter, Alto Capriccio Basel Baroque Orchestra Dominik Kiefer This work could be a movement from one of the otherwise lost "last masses" or, more likely, is a replacement for the same movement of the 'Missa Omnium Sanctorum' ZWV21 as the Music for that had been reused for the 'Litany Consolatrix afflictorum' ZWV151 of 1741. If that is the case, one might speculate that Zelenka did possibly envisage an actual performance of the Mass at around the same time and did not wish duplication to be evident. .
