Big music for big occasions
To kick off your Sunday Nick Halley has a few big, bold and bombastic pieces for you - three right in a row.
They are all Te Deums. A Te Deum is an expression of thanks meant for big occasions. There was a time when if you won a battle, the first thing you would do is order up a Te
Drum.
You will hear a tryptich of Te Deums from the master of effect George Frideric Handel, the reclusive Franz Joseph Haydn and the head of music for Louis the 14th himself, Jean-Baptise Lully.
