A joyous homophonic setting of the Te Deum by Queen
Victoria's husband, HRH Albert, Prince Consort
(1819-61). An easy piece for the average SATB choir.
The multi-talented Prince Albert wrote a considerable
amount of music, mainly song and choral, during his
short life. Most of his work was published as The
Collected Compositions of HRH Prince Albert, ed.
W.G.Cusins (London, n.d. [1882]). Cusins, Master of the
Queen's Musick and Queen Victoria's private organist,
had known the Prince well, so the edition carries
considerable authority. The present edition uses Cusins
as copy-text, modernising the original's alto and tenor
clefs, and adding tempo markings. N.B. All editorial
additions are marked by round or, occasionally, square,
brackets.
