Te Deum
Arrangement for soli, choir and organ (arr. A. Gräsle) H 146
Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s impressive setting of the Latin canticle Te Deum opens with a striking introductory fanfare. It is familiar to millions, since it is the theme tune of the Eurovision TV broadcasts. Andreas Gräsle has transferred the orchestral setting of this French Baroque masterpiece to the organ with great sensitivity for the changing instrumentations and timbres in the original score. This edition enables the work to be performed for the first time in an alternative version for solo voices, choir, and organ.
The vocal scores and choral scores of the original version (Carus 21.032), also published by Carus, can be used in combination with this organ setting.
