Introduction: The „Landsberger Te Deum“ was composed for the reopening of the town parish church ofthe Assumption 2010. As a reverence to the name patroness Maria are found in the musical course not only text and melody of the „salvo of Regina“ (text 11th century, Melody Henri Du Mont 17th century), but also softy and "romantic" tones which prime the otherwise robust and vital joy of the ambrosian hymn of praise with her marian delicacy. With field whistle, lansquenet drums and a citation of the Moresca of Tilman Susato (1500-1561) reference is made to the Landsberg tradition of the Reuthen festival with his historical plays. Thus originated many-faceted "Te Deum" with own (sometimes almost naive-popular) gesture of the expression.
Dedication: Dedicated to Johannes Skudlik
