One of my absolute favorites from Papa Haydn's pen -- one can hear his faith and the joy he felt in praising God! (May we always do the same) Thank you for posting this splendid performance!
It’s difficult to say ‘best’ anything, but what is true is that no composer has ever set these words better nor more effectively; perhaps that does mean ‘best’ ?
I just finished listening to other renditions of Te Deum and I can boldly say that Haydn's rendition has to be the best of them all! What a grand piece of music!
First time in hearing this. Always intrigued that choral music in the 18th century developed more slowly than orchestral music. This sounds very Handelian in parts. But all the better for it of course..
Given the almost total dominance of Italian musical culture at the time, it’s very possible that in Vienna the Latin pronunciation may well have not been what you think, and that they would have sung for example dona nobis pat-chem (ie Italian-style) rather than pat-zem (German-style), et cetera.
@@ransomcoates546 That’s the point I made above; I think there is a probability that Haydn’s Latin - which was excellent - was like much else in Vienna at the time, heavily Italian-influenced rather than provincial German influenced. This influence was likely to be reflected in the pronunciation of the Latin words in Viennese sacred music. Haydn was native fluent in Italian, as was Mozart, and it’s worth noting that when Mozart wrote the beautiful dedication at the top of the six ‘Haydn’ quartets that he dedicated to him, he chose *not* to use their shared madrelingua German, but in fact wrote it in Italian. This is an obvious example of the all-pervading Italian influence I mentioned above. In short, and in answer to your specific point, it may well be the case that in Haydn’s ear, he heard Italian-style Latin pronunciation rather than German.
David Hurwitz brought me here. He loves this recording to death and I understand why. It’s such a regal version of it and I could imagine King George III of England or Napoleon walking out to it.
Est ce possible d’avoir choralia pour soprane 1 Te Deum en entier Joseph Haydn. Il existe que la 1ere partie du Te Deum. Comment l’avoir en entier. Merci
I have to learn this for pre-area at my school, it is quite daunting, but I believe I'm pretty solid on it... Pre-area is in a week, does anybody who sang it previously have any tips for me?

The best Te Deum ever!
Where is the lie?

I sang this in high school in 1974 and still remember the glorious feeling!
this is it - the gold standard performance of this work :)

Marvelous performance. I've had this disc for 25 years, and it's still a favorite.
Nice!
Completely agree! This is the definitive Te Deum for me!
Me too!
Trevor Pinnock is such a good interpretor. His Haendel's Messiah is also the very best ever. This is a serious professional. So grateful for him !!!
Clearly the best interpretation I’ve heard; better than Weil, Harnoncourt,...Bravo!
Trevor Pinnock 🥇👊🏻✨💛

Who else sings their SATB part when listening? 🙋🏻♂️
Thank you for the German Latin! Quite anachronistic to sing it with ‘Church’ pronunciation.

@@elaineblackhurst1509 But what sounds were in his ear when he composed? That seems to me the dominant issue.

Ah...the grandeur... clarity
Amazing... already in front of Our SAVIOUR King...

This piece is such a banger. Almost feels wrong to set these words to such music. But Haydn knew best . . .
Thanks!
"Almost feels wrong...."? Am curious to know the meaning of your comment.
