Festival Te Deum

SKU: PL.9006

Te Deum Laudamus...by Richard Proulx is a setting of Dryden's translation, itself a most interesting comparison with the Prayer Book version, for SATB choir with some divisi, accompanied solely by handbells and tambourine, with optional flute and cello parts (doubling the soprano and bass vocal lines respectively). Much use is made of the traditional chant of the Te Deum, and there are one or two passages for solo bartione; an intriguing exercise, and one that makes a worthwhile alternative to more traditional ways of singing the Te Deum. --Michael Fleming.

St. Cecilia's Day was celebrated in England during Restoration times with a great festival of music. The soloists were among the best singers of the day, and their music was deliberately florid to show their virtuosity. It is in this tradition that Purcell wrote his festal ,Te Deum and Jubilate'. It was composed for St. Cecilia's Day, 1694, and shows the same ornate style as he odes composed in previous years. It was the grand manner which assured the popularity of the work. After the initial performance, it was given annually on St. Cecilia's day for many years. This fame ensured that the work was printed in score.
The present edition has been prepared from the second edition, a copy of which is now in the possession of Glasgow University.
