The Te Deum is the opening and most extensive movement of the Service in A Major, Opus 63, and contains the only solo work for alto and tenor. The opening choral unison , preceded by an exuberant imitation of bell-ringing in the organ, sets the stage for a very festive work. The entire Service in A Major forms a very effective 37 minute concert piece. In keeping with its primary function as a work for the Episcopal liturgy, each movement stands alone quite well as an attractive, independent composition in the late Romantic style. English text.
