Te Deum (String Version) (Instrumental Parts)

Other info: This large choral work sets the original Latin text of the Te Deum, with additional words by Ben Dunwell (That We May Love Again - movement 3), and includes the youth choir movement The Lord is my Shepherd.

Te Deum was commissioned by The Vivace Chorus and is dedicated to the memory of Keith Hester.  An archival recording of the complete Te Deum exists in its brass ensemble version.

The Lord is my Shepherd and That We May Love Again are available as a recording by Tenebrae on The Call of Wisdom, an album for the Signum Classics label scored for SATB with strings and harp.

Te Deum is published by Tyalgum Press, but the children's choir item The Lord Is My Shepherd is available as a separate, and is published by Boosey & Hawkes in both an upper voices and SATB arrangement.

The movement That We May Love Again is sung by the soprano soloist in this publication of the complete Te Deum.  The arrangement of That We May Love Again scored for SATB choir as featured on The Call of Wisdom recording and published by Tyalgum Press can be purchased as a separate if required.

The work has previously existed in different scorings:

Band scoring: ssax, 2 asax, hrn, 2 trpt, trbn, 2 perc, pno, org, db
Quintet scoring: pno, bass, drums, org, ssax (=asax)

However it is now the composer's preference that only the String scoring is performed.
