Dettinger Te Deum-Handel's Te Deum for the Victory of Dettingen for SATB and Orchestra.The Dettingen Te Deum is a brilliant example of how Handel could capture the tone for festive occasions as had never been done before. The expression of the exalted character of this official work is imparted through Handel?s express use of timpani and trumpets. Gentler and more serious movements effectively complement the work. The basis for the present critical edition of this work is the London autograph which has survived and from which Handel probably conducted the first performance. In addition the initial concluding version of the chorus ?Make them to be number?d? has beenpublished in this edition. In this version Handel strived for a more compact and stricter voice leading.edition based on the autograph from which Handel conducted the first performancedetailed foreword in three languagescritical Report with information about the source situation the edition and containing the individual readings (alternative readings etc.)

One of Handel's first works in English the 'Utrecht' Te Deum was written in 1713. Along with the accompanying Jubilate it won him the approval of the people and an annual allowance from Queene Anne. The keyboard part is a reduction of the original orchestral score though parts for Flute 2 Oboes Bassoon 2 Trumpets Strings and Keyboard are available from the G. Schirmer if a more authentic performance is desired.

This verse anthem with organ was probably Handel's first contribution to English church music and possibly his first setting of an extended English language text. As pants the Hart is undated and there is no historical record of the anthem's first performance though evidence from the appearance of the autograph itself suggests it proceeded the Te Deum and an estimated composition date is from November-December 1712.Arranged for soprano alto tenor and bass soloists SATB chorus and organ.
