In 1857, at the age of 19, Georges Bizet won with his cantata Clovis and Clotilde the Prix de Rome for musical composition, a prestigious springboard at the time for a career as a composer, the reward for which was a three-year stay at the Villa Medicis.
It was during this stay in Italy in 1858 that he wrote the Te Deum, for soprano, tenor, mixed choir and orchestra, one of his rare religious works.
