How to pronounce "Te Deum"

Kevin Hilman · 10-27-2005, 05:55 PM

I love Mark-Antoine Charpentier's prelude from "Te Deum" but have no idea how to pronounce it. For that matter can anyone tell me how to pronounce Charpentier?

Thanks for your help,

Kevin

Either Tay Day-um or Tay Dee-um would be correct.

Charpentier - Shar-pen-teay

Because the E in latin is sounded as an A I would go with Tay Day-um

Charpentier = Shar pen tee a

That's a common name in this part of the country!

If you want to sound like a native, try:

Te like TEST

De like DESTINY

Um like BOOM

ML like EMMEL

banned man, shurely

If you are talking to the organist - The Tedious Prelude normally makes sure you are both talking about the same piece

When I got to my brand new band room in 1984 there was a sign on the door put there by the school board -- Banned Room.

The sad thing was that it was not put there as a joke

The person who made the little signs for the different parts of the school actually thought that was how it was spelled!

That is a horrible commentary on the education system down there. I wouldn't advertise it so loudly.
