In 1733 Bach also made another attempt to impress the Royal Couple with a Dresden performance of the original version of his b minor Mass. Undoubtedly the intention to impress the Royal Family was also among the reasons why Zelenka invested so much resources in this "Te Deum"- setting. ZWV 146 was performed in the Dresden Court Chapel, either as an act of thanksgiving on the day after Maria Josepha's successful birth of a girl on 5 Nov. 1731, then in the presence of her Husband the Electoral Prince, or during the subsequent churching of the mother on 15 Dec. Whether the patrons were impressed or not, neither of the two composers obtained the desired post as the Saxon Court's new Kapellmeister.
