Te Deum and Jubilate Deo in D cover

for SSATB soloists, SSATB choir, two trumpets, strings and continuo Written for St Cecilia's Day 1694, Purcell's popular Te Deum and Jubilate in D was the first work of its kind to be scored for orchestra, and it became the model for future settings of the text by Blow, Croft, and Handel. This new edition by Robert King has been prepared using the earliest available source material, combining up-to-date scholarship with a clear and practical layout. The edition includes an organ reduction for rehearsal purposes. Orchestral material is available on hire/rental.

This 'late' work is the product of a prodigiously talented composer in his mid-30s. Baroque craftsmanship and the ability to fuse national styles are at a premium: the poise and allure of Lully, the dash and ebullience of Corelli, and the contrapuntal invention of Buxtehude are fused with flair and acumen, and couched in an effervescent Englishness that is unmistakeably Purcellian. . .King has provided an edition that is a model of clarity and sound editorial practice, together with an organ part that is a credible and wholly manageable orchestral reduction. * Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ, March/April 2013 *
