Information: Missa Sanctissimae Trinitatis is regarded as the first of Zelenka's "Late Masses". Like the other four of these masses, because they were not on commission, he had unrestricted artistic freedom in their creation. The results are an astonishing set of compelling masterpieces of great length and complexity. They show an experimental, radical and vibrant composer who despite being in his later years, continued to flourish and have a creative drive.
Zelenka started in 1736 with this mass, titled in honour of the Holy Trinity. Written in A minor, it has a heavy and somber tone which expresses a pleading spirit. His late style is very clear; an integration of a more galante and focused style designed for a graceful and yet powerful effect. Zelenka adds lots of colour too, with flutes and a chalumeau in the Agnus Dei.

Background painting: Jusepe de Ribera - "The Trinity" - c.1635.
