Te Deum
Arrangement for chamber orchestra (arr. Linckelmann) op. 103, 1892/2024
In 1892, Dvorák was honored to receive a commission from New York to compose a festive cantata to mark the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of America. Within a short space of time, he had composed his impressive Te Deum, which in four contrasting sections joyfully interprets the ancient hymn of praise.
This version by the experienced arranger and orchestral musician Joachim Linckelmann enables smaller ensembles to perform the work. In his edition for soloists, choir and chamber orchestra, he reduces the winds from the original 18 to just 7. The string parts are identical to the original score, although these can also be reduced in size if required. The vocal parts (soloists and choir) are completely unchanged, so that the singers can also use the vocal scores and choral scores from the Carus Urtext edition.
- Large work can now be performed by smaller choirs
- 18 winds in the original score reduced to just 7
- Vocal scores and choral scores from the original version can be used
