The Festival Te Deum was composed for the Coronation of King George VI in 1937 and sets the Te Deum text in its English translation from the Book of Common Prayer. It is suitably majestic and celebratory in style, though the grand tone does briefly give way in a solemn central section. Accompaniments for orchestra or brass and percussion ensemble are available on hire.
