Te Deum

Album by Hector Berlioz & Voices of Ascension & Dennis Keene

Te Deum is a large-scale sacred choral work by French composer Hector Berlioz, completed in 1855. Scored for massive forces including chorus, soloists, organ and orchestra, it features expansive choral textures, dramatic dynamic contrasts and prominent brass and organ writing that reflect Berlioz's theatrical approach to liturgical composition and occupies a late-career place alongside his other grand sacred works.
First released: 1997
