Pavel Grigorievich Chesnokov is best known for composing which choral work?
Pavel Chesnokov Pavel Grigorievich Chesnokov (Russian: Павел Григорьевич Чесноков) (24 October 1877, Voskresensk, Zvenigorod uyezd, Moscow Governorate – 14 March 1944, Moscow), also transliterated "Tschesnokoff", "Tchesnokov", "Tchesnokoff", and "Chesnokoff", was an Imperial Russian and Soviet composer, choral conductor and teacher. He composed over five hundred choral works, over four hundred of which are sacred. Today, he is most known for his piece "Salvation is Created" as well as works such as "Do Not Reject Me in Old Age" (solo for basso profondo) and movements from various settings of the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom.
Te Deum (Berlioz) The Te Deum (Op. 22 / H.118) by Hector Berlioz (1803–1869) was completed in 1849. Like the earlier and more famous ""Grande Messe des Morts"", it is one of the works referred to by Berlioz in his Memoirs as "the enormous compositions which some critics have called architectural or monumental music." While the orchestral forces required for the "Te Deum" are not as titanic as those of the "Requiem", the work calls for an organ that can compete on equal terms with the rest of the orchestra. It lasts approximately fifty minutes and derives its text from the traditional Latin Te Deum, although Berlioz changed the word order for dramatic purposes.
