Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate is a sacred choral
composition in two parts, written by George Frideric
Handel to celebrate the Treaty of Utrecht, which
established the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, ending the
War of the Spanish Succession. The combination of a Te
Deum and Jubilate, the Psalm 100, follows earlier
models. The official premiere of the work on English
texts was on 13 July 1713 in a service in St Paul's

Handel's composition was written to celebrate the Peace
of Utrecht in 1713. It was his first commission from
the British royal family and established his career in
London. It was also his first major sacred work to
English texts. Handel followed the models of Henry
Purcell's 1694 Te Deum and Jubilate with strings and
trumpets, which was regularly performed for official
functions in St Paul's even after the composer's death,
and a 1709 setting by William Croft. As in these
models, Handel composed a combination of two liturgical
texts, the Ambrosian Hymn Te Deum, We praise thee, O
God, and a setting of Psalm 100, O be joyful in the
Lord, all ye lands, which is a regular canticle of the
Anglican Morning Prayer.
Although originally written for Chorus (SATB) and
Orchestra, I created this arrangement for Harpsichord
and Oboe Duet.
