Product Description

The Te Deum (H 146) is unquestionably the best known composition of Marc-Antoine Charpentier (16431704), especially since its Prélude en rondeau was made the Eurovision signature tune. Although Charpentier set the Te Deum altogether four times, this is his only setting employing a military band, i.e. trumpets and kettledrums. Charpentier considered the key D-major as "bright and very warlike"; indeed D-major was regarded as the "key of glory" in Baroque music. This brilliant and magnificent piece was frequently played at victory celebrations and other occasions of public jubilation during the 17th century. Even today it is still ideal for festive church services and concerts.
