Te Deum (Berlioz)
The Te Deum (Op. 22 / H.118) by Hector Berlioz (1803–1869) was completed in 1849. Like the earlier and more famous ''''Grande Messe des Morts'''', it is one of the works referred to by Berlioz in his Memoirs as "the enormous compositions which some critics have called architectural or monumental music." While the orchestral forces required for the ''Te Deum'' are by no means as titanic as those of the ''Requiem'', the work does call for an organ that can compete on equal terms with the rest of the orchestra. It lasts approximately fifty minutes and derives its text from the traditional Latin Te Deum, although Berlioz made some changes to word order for dramatic purposes.
==Background and premiere==
The ''Te Deum'' was originally conceived as the climax of a grand symphony celebrating Napoleon Bonaparte.〔 The finished work was dedicated to Albert, Prince Consort, husband of Queen Victoria.〔"Berlioz's 'Te Deum'", ''The Times'', 19 May 1887, p. 10〕 Some of the material used by Berlioz in the piece was originally written for his Messe Solennelle of 1824,〔(The Hector Berlioz Website - Berlioz and his music - self-borrowings )〕 thought to have been destroyed by the composer but rediscovered in 1991. The first performance of the work was on 30 April 1855, at the Church of Saint-Eustache, Paris; Berlioz conducted an ensemble of 900 or 950 performers.〔Keller, James M. ("Berlioz: Te Deum, opus 22" ), San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, accessed 28 April 2013〕
