Stanford: Te Deum & Elegiac Ode

[eschiss1]

Don't know if this upcoming Lyrita recording is news to people, but it's announced for July 5. Looks neat.

Very neat, I'd say. Thanks, Eric.

Decided I needed to get hold of this before it disappeared!

The Te Deum is a vigorous, highly impressive celebratory piece the idiom of whose opening chorus is familiar from the composer's roughly contemporary Requiem. The work was premiered in 1898 and the detailed liner notes are by leading Stanford scholar Jeremy Dibble.

Equally interesting, but rather different, is the earlier Elegiac Ode from 1884. More anon...
