John Rutter's Winchester Te Deum is a glorious work with a great sense of ceremony. Written for Winchester Cathedral this important setting is bright and joyful and equally suitable for church and concert performance. It pairs wonderfully in a concert half with Rutter's Gloria and provides perfect material for a festival evensong or occasional service. This can be performed by SATB choir accompanied by either organ organ with 5-part brass ensemble (2 trumpets horn trombone tuba) and optional timpani and percussion or orchestra.
