For SATB
Chorus with SSATB Soli
and Orchestra. Of the 4
surviving settings of the
Te Deum by Charpentier,
the present one composed
in the 'joyeux et tres
guerrier' key of D major,
is undoubtedly his most
famous work, thanks to
television producers who
chose its opening prelude
to be the Eurovision
signature tune in the
early 1950s. Although
Charpentier's Parisian
career is quite well
documented, little is
known about the genesis
and first performance of
the Te Deum but it has
been suggested that it
may have been performed
during the celebrations
of the military victory
of Steinkerque (3 August
1692). It is likely,
however, that it was
commissioned by the
Jesuits of the church of
Saint-Louis (today,
Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis)
for whom Charpentier had
been working as maitre de
musique since 1687.
