für gemischter Chor (SATB), Orchester
This setting of the Te Deum, dedicated to the wife of Franz I of
Austria, is a rare example of a work from Haydn's late period that
doesn't feature soloists.
The second of Haydn's Te Deum settings, the
work was performed in September 1800 on the name-day of the wife of
Haydn's patron, Prince Nicolaus Esterhazy II, and it features the C
major tonality and extensive use of trumpets and drums that were often
associated with festive ceremony.
This edition includes an orchestral
reduction by Denis McCaldin, and full details of editorial practice can
be found in the full score. Complete orchestral and vocal material is
available on hire/rental, and the vocal score
is also available on sale.
