After Missa Latina and Magnificat, Te Deum is now the third major composition by musician and composer Karl Albrecht “Bobbi” Fischer published by Carus. Fischer’s musical roots lie in classical music, which he combines with jazz elements and Latin American rhythms.

All three styles appear in the Te Deum. In keeping with the proclamation “Te Deum laudamus” (We praise thee, O God), the work begins with the festive (Cuban) energy, propelled by timpani and trumpet; the choir can also be heard imitating fanfares. Later, a cappella choruses become a recurring element, in which phrases set as Gregorian chant are presented against an ever-changing chordal background. But the score also features elements of swing and rhythm and blues, frenetic choral outbursts of joy, as well as moments of mystic contemplation. Moreover, the instrumentalists are given ample opportunity for improvised solos. Interwoven into the otherwise Latin text is the well-known German chorale Großer Gott, wir loben dich. Here several verses can be sung with the congregation; alongside the original German text, the score features the English translation “Holy God, we praise thy name”.

The masses of Johann Michael Haydn are masterworks in the church music repertoire and they were widely appreciated during his lifetime, as is proved by the many copies made of them. The Missa Sancti Dominici belongs, through its mooring with trumpets and drums, in the category of the missa solemnis. It also owes its tonal splendour partly to the richness of its compositional process, marked by sometimes rapid alternation between choral and solo passages. This is a richly rewarding, fascinating work for accomplished choirs to perform, not only at festive services. Score and part available separately - see item CA.9100800.
