ISBN 9790006564491. 31 x 24.3 cm inches. Key: B-flat major. Text Language: English. Preface: Beeks, Graydon.
Handel composed the “Te Deum†in B-flat major HWV 281 in 1718 for the future Duke of Chandos, hence its nickname “Chandos Te Deumâ€. Here it is called “Te Deum for Cannons†after the Duke’s stately home named Cannons where the first performance took place. The unusual scoring for flute, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, two violins and basso continuo plus a choir (one soprano, three tenors and a bass) probably reflects the musicians which were available at Cannons, bearing in mind that three tenors were used also in “Acis and Galateaâ€, the masque which was composed at almost the same time. Though in many respects this “Te Deum†is reminiscent of the “Utrecht Te Deumâ€, its smaller forces tend to give it more the character of chamber music. This edition is based on the Urtext from the “Halle Handel Edition†(BA 10708-01), which offers the first complete scholarly text of the music for the “Te Deumâ€.

Handel composed hisTe Deumin B flat major HWV 281 in 1718 for the future Duke of Chandos, which explains the nicknameChandos Te Deum. In this edition, the work is named after the place of its first performance:Te Deum for Cannons.The unusual instrumentation consisting of flute, oboe (one of each), one bassoon, one trumpet, two violins, basso continuo, and choir (one soprano, three tenors, and one bass) might have been a result of the number of musicians available for performance. Incidentally, the masqueAcis und Galatea, composed around the same time, is also scored for three tenors. The work bears some resemblance to theUtrecht Te Deum, however, the intimate scoring results in a chamber music feel.This academic-critical edition reflects the most current research in musical, philological, and historical respects. As the scoring is somewhat unusual and the work's transmission rather complex, the part of the preface dealing with performance practice should be of special interest.
