In 1953,
with timpani and trumpets
a la Marseillaise, a
French piece of music
once again captured
public attention
(Eurovision Hymn) and a
composer was
rediscovered: the first
recording of Marc-Antoine
Charpentier's Te Deum H
146 was released. The
introductory fanfare not
only praised God but the
Sun King Louis XIV, and
it opens one of the
greatest works of French
Baroque music.
Magnificent celebration
and ardent pleading,
effective choruses, arias
and small ensembles, plus
instrumental interludes
combine to create a
harmonious whole, drawing
its higher meaning from
Charpentier's
musical-theological
interpretation of the
Latin hymn of praise that
it is based on. Score
available separately -
