A. There are many composers listed in the Inventarium. The music of Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643) certainly influenced Zelenka, as he adapted some of Frescobaldi’s works for his own use. The long list from the Inventarium includes Giuseppe Antonio Vicenzo Aldrovandini (1672/3-1707), Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652), Attilio Ariosti (1666-1729), Orazio Benevoli (1605-1672), Domenico Gabrielli (1651-1690), Cristbal Morales (c. 1500-1553), Luca Marenzio (1553-1599), Costanzo Porta (1528/9-1601) and Johann Rosenmller (c. 1619-1684).

A. There are many composers listed in Zelenka’s Inventarium of 1726-1739. The music of Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643) certainly influenced Zelenka, as he adapted some of Frescobaldi’s works for his own use. The long list from the Inventarium includes Giuseppe Antonio Vicenzo Aldrovandini (1672/3-1707), Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652), Attilio Ariosti (1666-1729), Orazio Benevoli (1605-1672), Domenico Gabrielli (1651-1690), Cristbal Morales (c. 1500-1553), Luca Marenzio (1553-1599), Costanzo Porta (1528/9-1601) and Johann Rosenmller (c. 1619-1684). Zelenka’s late works show characteristics of the musical style used for Italian sacred music, especially the music of the Neapolitans Domenico Sarri (1679-1744) and Francesco Nicola Fago (1677-1745), as well as a younger generation of composers from Naples: Francesco Feo (1691-1761) and Leonardo Leo (1694-1744).
