On 27 June 1743, the British army and its allies, under the command of King George II and Lord Stair, won a victory at the Battle of Dettingen, over the French army, commanded by the Maréchal de Noailles and the Duc de Grammont.
George Frideric Handel reused Urio's work, including parts of the Te Deum, in works such as Israel in Egypt, L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, and the Dettingen Te Deum.
