The works of Pater Æmilian Rosengart point beyond their original setting, Ochsenhausen Abbey. The highly diverse music of this Te Deum - like some of his other sacred works - originated in lost operas and oratorios by this composer, and was adapted to different texts for liturgical use by Rosengart himself.

Composer
Æmilian Rosengart
| 1757-1810Rosengart, who worked at the Benedictine Abbey at Ochsenhausen, was one of the foremost composers of monastic music of the South-German late-baroque period. That music was overshadowed by the Viennese classics, and it has therefore been largely forgotten. The 90 or so surviving compositions by Rosengart serve liturgical purposes, and are therefore still today best suited for use at religious services. Personal details
