Charpentier. Te Deum

Mozart, Vesperae Solennes de Confessore

In honor of Rockhurst University's Centennial, Musica Sacra will perform two of the most joyful and celebratory works in the choral/orchestral repertory. Charpentier's Te Deum, from the glorious French baroque, was composed for a Jesuit church in 17th-century Paris. Mozart's sublime and jubilant Vespers setting incorporates brilliant choral writing and an exciting orchestration with trumpets and timpani drums.
