Abstract: The study presents all the surviving sources of the oratorio Il Davide nella valle di Terebintho by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf (Jánský Vrch, 1771). Attention is paid to the circumstances of the composition of the work and the musical setting itself. The cast of singers is also reconstructed. The second part of the study is devoted to the reception of the work in its day. Finally, the modern staging of the work, which has shown its undeniable musical qualities, is mentioned.
