Resources for Choral Singers and Soloists
Marc-Antoine Charpentier composed his grand polyphonic motet Te Deum (H. 146) in D major probably between 1688 and 1698, during his stay at the Jesuit Church of Saint-Louis in Paris, where he was musical director. This Te Deum is written for SATB choir, and SSATB Soli or SSTTB Soli for some scores and orchestra.
Their are several scores most of which are compatible with each other, some with some minor differences. Our recording has been prepared using the first authoritative performing edition from the original manuscript prepared by French baroque scholar Lionel Sawkins.
This Te Deum has gained popularity comparatively recently, possibly due to the opening prelude (Rondeau) being adopted as the theme tune that is played before broadcasts by the European Broadcasting Union, most notably the Eurovision Song Contest as well has lesser known broadcasts.
