including a setting of the Te Deum and a couple of
masses. Although he wrote some orchestral music, such
as a violin concertino and a parody of Berlioz's
Symphonie fantastique, Veit only wrote one symphony, in
E minor, which is however considered "a notable
milestone in the development of the Czech symphonic
style.
Although originally created for accompanied chorus, I
created this arrangement for Woodwinds (Flute, Oboe,
Clarinet, English Horn, Bassoon), Brass (Alto Horn &
French Horn) and String Ensemble (Violins, Viola,
Cello, Bass & Contrabass).
