1863 Cavaillé-Coll organ at Saint Sulpice, Paris, France
Te Deum!
It’s almost like a peal of bells, and why not, since this week’s program is all about praise. The phrase We praise you, oh God. We acknowledge you to be the Lord. . . has inspired composers through the centuries. Dupré, Attaignant, Buxtehude, and Demessieux, have each created monuments on this text and we’ll also listen to a very snappy setting from the French Baroque by Charpentier, as well as chorale versions by Britten and Berlioz.
The celebrations continue through time and traditions, as we shout our praise: Te Deum!
