Both Te Deum and Jubilate Deo were first performed on St. Cecilia's Day 1694 in St Bride's Church, London. They were subsequently adopted for use on all the principal festal occasions, such as National Thanksgivings and provisional music meetings such as those of the Three Choirs. They retained their popularity until Handel's Dettingen setting superceded them fifty years later. For two sopranos, two altos, tenor and bass soli, SATB chorus, trumpets strings and organ. This vocal score includes the organ part. Edited by J.F. Bridge. |
