One celebrates a doomed marriage. Another marks the end of a war that would soon re-erupt. Still another cost the composer his life.
One might call it a jinx, but some would turn out to be unexpectedly lucky.
In the next hour, memorable Te Deums for orchestra and voices by Handel, Mozart, Berlioz, and more.
