Composer
Antonio Caldara
| 1670-1736

Antonio Caldara was born in Venice in 1670 and, during his lifetime, worked as a cellist, conductor and composer. Caldara is thought to have received his training in his home town under Giovanni Legrenzi, the Kapellmeister at St Mark’s. Caldara worked as a freelance cellist in Venice (1693–1700), as a Kapellmeister in Mantua (1700–1707) and Rome (1709–1716), and finally as Vice-Kapellmeister at the imperial court in Vienna (1716–1736) under Emperor Charles VI.
His popularity stemmed from his ability to combine a respect for tradition with the greatest possible originality. He composed over 3,400 works, including more than 80 operas, 43 oratorios, around 150 symphonies, masses, serenades, cantatas and motets, madrigals and serenades, as well as over 300 canons.

Antonio Caldara: Te Deum in D

Die Erstausgabe hat Wolfgang Horn besorgt. Aus dem Vorwort kann der Interessent wissenswerte Informationen zum Komponisten und seinem Werk entnehmen. Dieses ist einfach angelegt. Die beiden Chöre sind weitgehend homophon gestaltet; sie lösen sich vers- oder halbversweise ab. Von verschiedenen Überschneidungen abgesehen, sind nur die Textsteile „Te ergo quaesumus” und die Schlusstakte des Te Deum achtstimmig. Der Herausgeber datiert die Komposition in die Zeit vor der Anstellung Caldaras am Kaiserhof in Wien (1716-1736). Der geringe Schwierigkeitsgrad und die kurze Aufführungsdauer (angegeben sind ca. 4 Min.) empfehlen das Werk dem gottesdienstlichen und konzertanten Gebrauch.
