Te Deum, for 8 voices, chorus, and orchestra, H.146
Marc-Antoine Charpentier composed six Te Deum settings, but only four of them have survived (H.145, H.146, H.147, H.148). 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-Louis in Paris, where he held the position of musical director.
