Jan Dismas Zelenka

Miserere d-Moll ZWV 56

Experience Jan Dismas Zelenka's deeply moving masterpiece: the Miserere in D minor ZWV 56 is among the most impressive and expressive sacred vocal works of the late Baroque era. With remarkable dramatic intensity and harmonic boldness, Zelenka sets Psalm 51 to music, captivating performers and audiences from the very first bars.

The rich and colorful instrumentation for soloists (SATB), mixed choir (SATB), three trombones, two oboes, strings (with divided violins and violas), cello, and basso continuo lends the piece an unmistakable, solemnly majestic depth of sound.

Ortus Musikverlag presents this gem of Baroque sacred music in a first-class, carefully edited full score—an essential edition for ambitious choirs, ensembles, and lovers of extraordinary choral repertoire!
