The Te Deum settings of Marc-Antoine Charpentier

During the time of the absolutist monarchy of Louis XIV (1643-1715), the musical genre of the Latin Te Deum setting held an important position in France. The four extant Te Deums of Marc-Antoine Charpentier represent some of the finest offerings to this genre from one of France's truly significant composers. The focus of this project is on the two Te Deums which heretofore have existed only in manuscript form. These have been catalogued by H. Wiley Hithcock as numbers 147 and 148.
