Te Deum stained glass window by Christopher Whall at St Mary's church, Ware, Hertfordshire. The Te Deum (/ t eɪ ˈ d eɪ əm / or / t iː ˈ d iː əm /, [1] [2] Latin: [te ˈde.um]; from its incipit, Te Deum laudamus (Latin for 'Thee, God, we praise')) is a Latin Christian hymn traditionally ascribed to a date before AD 500, but perhaps with antecedents that place it much earlier.

Marc-Antoine Charpentier composed six Te Deum settings, but only four of them have survived (H.145, H.146, H.147, H.148). [1] Largely because of the great popularity of its prelude, the best known is the Te Deum in D major, H.146, written as a grand motet for soloists, choir, and instrumental accompaniment probably between 1688 and 1698, during Charpentier's stay at the Jesuit Church of Saint ...
Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate is the common name for a sacred choral composition in two parts, written by George Frideric Handel to celebrate the Treaty of Utrecht, which established the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, ending the War of the Spanish Succession.

He wrote it in 1743, only a month after the battle itself, during which Britain and its allies Hannover and Austria soundly routed the French.
Howells successfully produced a setting of the Te Deum; he later remarked that it was "the only Te Deum to be born of a decanal bet". [2] Following the challenge made at the Deanery tea, other settings followed: the Jubilate for Mattins in 1944, and in 1945 he completed the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis for Choral evensong.
Beldwin's copy includes some sections of the Te Deum and Benedictus from the Morning Canticles, given in score. Recent research suggests that it may have been composed somewhat earlier, for a copy in the York Minster part-books (York Minster MS 13/1-5) made by the singer John Todd about 1597-99 describes it as 'Mr Byrd's new sute of service for ...

[2] After finishing his next Symphony No. 7, [2] Bruckner resumed work on his Te Deum on 28 September 1883. [1] The vocal and orchestral score was completed on 7 March 1884.
