Johann Joseph Ignaz Brentner
Brk 45

Zelo zelata sum

Amavit eum Dominus


The work was created as an antiphon for the festive novena to St. Teresa of Ávila. P. Carolus Josephus à Sigismundo OCD commissioned Brentner in Prague to compose music for the feast introduced by the Discalced Carmelite nuns of Graz in 1718. Together with the antiphon “Vulnerasti cor meum” Brk 44 from the same collection, the piece was re-texted at some point before 1723 to “Amavit eum Dominus” – a change that the composer himself might make. The composition is fully known only in the new version. The soprano part only has survived from the first version. Both versions are musically almost identical.
