It is unusual that the organ part suddenly stops at bar 49 and is then only notated for the transition in the four bars 128-132. This is actually the case in the manuscript. There are several conjectures: Either Guilmant decided during the composition to score the piece without organ after all (which is quite conceivable in view of the full orchestra) or he wrote down the organ part in full somewhere else. There must possibly be another version of the Te Deum for choir and organ in which the possibly missing organ part could appear.

Ungewöhnlich ist, dass die Orgelstimme bereits ab Takt 49 plötzlich ausläuft und anschließend nur noch für Überleitung in den vier Takten 128-132 notiert ist. Das ist auch im Manuskript tatsächlich so. Es gibt mehrere Vermutungen: Entweder Guilmant hat während der Komposition beschlossen das Stück eigentlich doch ohne Orgel zu besetzen (was angesichts des vollen Orchesters durchaus denkbar ist) oder er hat die Orgelstimme woanders vollständig aufgeschrieben. Es muss evtl. noch eine Fassung des Te Deums für Chor und Orgel geben, in der die möglicherweise fehlende Orgelstimme auftauchen könnte.

Ce qui est inhabituel, c'est que la partie d'orgue s'arrête brusquement dès la mesure 49 et qu'elle n'est ensuite notée que pour des transitions dans les quatre mesures 128-132. C'est effectivement aussi le cas dans le manuscrit. Il y a plusieurs hypothèses : Soit Guilmant a décidé pendant la composition d'utiliser la pièce sans orgue (ce qui est tout à fait concevable compte tenu de l'orchestre complet), soit il a noté la partie d'orgue dans son intégralité ailleurs. Il doit éventuellement exister une autre version du Te Deum pour chœur et orgue, dans laquelle la partie d'orgue éventuellement manquante pourrait apparaître.
