Summary

Completed in 1849, the <i>Te Deum</i>, like the earlier and more famous <i>Grande Messe des Morts</i>, is one of Berlioz's self-described "architectural" works. While the orchestral forces required for the <i>Te Deum</i> are nowhere near as massive as huge as those for the Requiem, the work does call for an organ which can compete on equal terms with the rest of the orchestra. It lasts approximately fifty minutes and derives its text from the traditional Latin liturgical form, though Berlioz made some changes to the word order for dramatic purposes. The instrumental Prelude and Marche are seldom performed in concert. This vocal score is a digitally enhanced reissue of the one printed by G. Schirmer, Inc. around 1925, itself a re-engraving of the one published by Novello in the 1880s.
