| Ajoutée par magataganm, 18 Avr 2023 The Prince Albert Te Deum is a nineteenth-century Anglican choral mini-masterpiece which deserves to be better known. Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819-1861) was the husband of Queen Victoria. His was the genius that drove the Great London Exhibition of 1851, which led to the building of the Crystal Palace and many other London landmarks. And his remarkable talents extended into music. He moved in the best musical circles and was a close friend of the composer Felix Mendelssohn, who was a regular guest of the Prince in London. Through this friendship Mendelssohnâ??s links with England blossomed. This led to the first British performance of Bachâ??s St Matthew Passion in Birmingham in 1837, and ultimately to the founding of the London Bach Society. It also led to the commissioning of Mendelssohnâ??s Elijah for the 1845 Birmingham Festival. Prince Albert was a composer himself. And, in 1845, he composed this Te Deum Laudamus (God, we praise you), at the relatively-tender age of twenty-six. He wrote it for an event in Westminster Abbey that year. It remained relatively unknown for over forty years. But in 1887, another performance took place in Lichfield Cathedral as part of Queen Victoriaâ??s Golden Jubilee celebrations, as was told by the composer Havergal Brian. Brian related how, at the age of eleven, he sang in the Cathedral choir and was so moved by the music that it influenced the second movement of his vast Gothic Symphony for 1,000 voices. And it is possible, even likely, that there were other performances in Britain in that Golden Jubilee year. The text of the Te Deum Laudamus is one of the great hymns of the early Latin church. Tradition has it that when Saint Ambrose baptized Saint Augustine the two of them spontaneously improvised the hymn in responsory verse. Whether or not that is so, its triumphant tone guaranteed its survival over the centuries. It came to represent great and royal themes, like prayers for the monarchâ??s birthday, or thanksgiving for victory in war. Prince Albert died in 1861 at the age of only 42, leaving the Queen heart-broken. Twenty years later, in 1882, W.G. Cusins, Master of the Queenâ??s Musick, and Queen Victoriaâ??s private organist, published a collected edition of the Princeâ??s musical compositions. This included the Te Deum and other liturgical music by the Prince. Cusins had known the Prince well, so the edition carries some authority.
