??Hail!
bright Cecilia, hail to
thee. Great patroness of
us and harmony!? ??
this exclamation opens
the final chorus of Henry
Purcell??s eponymous Ode
to St. Cecilia from 1692.
A paean to the power of
music, the work is one of
the undoubted
masterpieces of English
choral odes of that time.
A resolution of
the Musical Society of
London in 1683 launched
the great tradition of
annual celebrations for
St. Cecilia??s Day
(November 22), featuring
a church service followed
by performances of
specially composed music.
Over the years, Purcell
wrote several odes for
the occasion, of which
this example from 1692 is
one of the most popular.
Four decades later,
Handel would also
contribute to the
celebrations with his
Alexander??s Feast, HWV
75 (Carus 55.075), and
his Ode for St.
Cecilia??s Day, HWV 76
(Carus
55.076).Purcell?
?s magnificent music,
which features a huge
range of tonal color and
form, offers delightful
parts for a variety of
solo, ensemble, and
choral settings. With its
richly expressive
palette, the Ode to St.
Cecilia is an extremely
rewarding work by the
??Orpheus
Britannicus?, as
Purcell was admiringly
called by
contemporaries.-
Festive, rousing ode to
music- Highlight of
the choral ode genre in
the 17th century

Handel's
Utrecht Te Deum HWV 278
enthralled London
audiences right from its
first performance, and it
continues to do so today
in concert halls and
churches all over the
world. It was performed
for the first time in a
festive service on 13
July 1713 in St. Paul's
Cathedral to celebrate
the Peace marking the end
of the twelve year-long
War of the Spanish
Succession in 1713. The
Te Deum was the first
commission by the English
royal house and was also
Handel's first sacred
work in the English
language. For Handel the
Utrecht Te Deum was an
important milestone at
the beginning of his
London career. The
composition brought him
an annual pension from
Queen Anne and helped him
to establish himself as a
composer of prestigious
music for the English
royal family. Four
further settings of the
Ambrosian hymn of praise
by Handel followed,
including the equally
popular Dettingen Te Deum
(Carus 55.238). The six
soloists required can in
practice be reduced to
four, and the Te Deum
does not contain any
stand-alone arias. The
chorus is scored in five
parts in a few movements
(SSATB), with the
concluding doxology
beginning in double-choir
scoring (SST/AATB). For
this frequently-performed
work Carus offers a
musical text reflecting
the latest scholarly
discoveries. The Critical
Report contains
information on all the
important facts about the
work in a practicable,
compact form. A detailed
foreword contains
insights into the
creation of the work and
its reception. The vocal
score, chorus score, and
orchestral parts provide
for the needs of
practical performance;
these are complemented by
carus music, the choir
app for practising the
choral parts, as well as
the Carus Choir Coach
practice CDs and a Vocal
Score XL in
reader-friendly large
print.
