IMSLP #372320Sanctus, ZWV 35 (Zelenka, Jan Dismas) [#10413]
Voices only?

The cover lists 2 oboes as being part of the orchestra, but the parts are not in this set. The RISM entry lists a "coro" in the scoring summary, but further down, in the notes, there instrumentation is only the solo vocal parts. Although there are two separate Alto and Tenor parts in this set, they seem to be exactly the same, so it is not like one is solo, the other choral. (And Grove Music lists the instrumentation as "S, A, T, B . . ." i.e. no chorus.)

Here [1] you will find a worklist SATB ch for ZWV 35 also, and this list has a scholarly background. I think there are nearly no masses without choir at that times. Soloists and chorists have both voices S, A, T, B and looking closer to the music it will mostly become clear, if solo or choir.
