Information:
This illustrious and unusual (for the Czech master) secular vocal piece was performed as a surprise gift from the Electress Maria Josepha for the wedding feast of the Schwabian, Baroness Joanna von Stein and the Polish magnate, Prince Jerzy Ignacy Lubomirski.
Thanks to the discovery of a printed libretto written by Pallavicini in the mid-2000s, we know that this piece was titled 'The Diamond' - in reference to the bride's name, and to the special jewelry that was also given to her as a gift from the Electress. This was Zelenka's chance to shine, as both the usual Dresden operatic composers, Hasse and Ristori, were busy with their own projects. It is the crowning jewel of his own Italianate operatic style, having developed it over the course of the decade with 3 oratorios and a set of arias.
The plot revolves around the gemstone which is offered by Terra to Juno who wants to use it as a guarantee of a marriage happening on the Elbe (Dresden). She calls upon Hymen, God of marriage to find the bridegroom, Prince Lubomirski, and Cupid to find a suitable bride, who is later named and praised for her beauty. The glorious union of Poland and Germany is emphasised. The Serenata finishes with Terra asking for Juno's blessing on the couple, and a rousing chorus which invites everyone to celebrate and praise the union.
A surprise addition is the sudden arrival of Venus, sung by the famous Soprano, Faustina Bordoni, wife of Hasse. The subsequent aria is a wonderfully magical image of the tenderness of love - Venus reminds the listener that only she can perfect their love.
Jan Dismas Zelenka, largely known for his prayerful, powerful and pious sacred music, truly surprises with this work. It puts to rest the depiction in some musicological literature of his character as being grim, reclusive and heavy-hearted - the nature and history of this piece begs to differ!

1. 0:00 - The Dresden Green Diamond.
One of the greatest diamonds ever known; bought in 1742 by Zelenka's employer, the Saxon King of Poland, Augustus III - http://famousdiamonds.tripod.com/dres....
[This is of course *not* the same jewel as the wedding gift given to Joanna von Stein by Maria Josepha, but close enough! Splendorous image of the late Baroque, all the same.]
2. 15:37 - 'Juno and Argus' by Gregorio de Ferrari (1685-95).
3. 29:24 - 'The Contest between Cupid and Hymen' an engraving for a poem given for the marriage of Odoardo Farnese and Margarita Medici (1628).
4. 40:14 - 'Cupid sharpening his bow' by Parmagianino (1534).
5. 50:13 - Portraits of the bride, Joanna von Stein zu Jettingen and bridegroom, Jerzy Ignacy (Georg Ignatius) Lubomirski.
6. 1:00:51 - Their corresponding heraldic coats of arms.
7. 1:11:45 - 'Allegory of Earth' by Jan Brueghel the Younger and Hendrik van Balen (1630s).
8. 1:18:33 - Combination of No. 5 and No.1
9. 1:21:45 - A portrait of Faustina Bordoni, by Rosalba Carriera - [looking rather Venus-like and clasping some pages of notes!]
10. 1:34:00 - No. 8 repeated.
