Charpentier | Te Deum - Prelude (1689)

Marc-Antoine Charpentier composed six Te Deum settings, although only four of them have survived.

1689-04-26 12:00:00 - Charpentier

Largely because of the great popularity of its prelude, the best known is the Te Deum in D major, H.146, written as a grand motet for soloists, choir, and instrumental accompaniment probably between 1688 and 1698, during Charpentier's stay at the Jesuit Church of Saint-Louis in Paris, where he held the position of musical director.
