Transcription

1 The hymn known as Te Deum Laudemus, or, more familiarly, the Te Deum, first appeared in Latin in the Rule of St Benedict in 50 CE, but had been in existence for some time before that Its authorship is disputed: there is a tradition that asserts that it was composed spontaneously by St Augustine and St Ambrose at St Augustine s baptism (it is sometimes referred to as the Ambrosian Hymn ); others that credit its creation to St Hilary or St Niceta of Remesiana In any event, its potency as an expression of praise and Trinitarian doctrine has inspired its musical interpretation countless times During , I was composer-in-residence for three Minnesota congregations through the American Composers Forum s Faith Partners program This piece was written at the request of Kristina Langlois, the organist and Director of Music at Westwood Lutheran Church in Minnetonka as part of a larger Lutheran Morning Service liturgy It was intended for liturgical use, and to have optional parts for any of Westwood s vast musical resources (organ, choir, bell choir, wind ensemble, congregation), to be used in any combination, depending on the attendance of the particular morning Te Deum You are God, we praise you You are the Lord, we acclaim you You are the eternal Father, all creation worships you To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and seraphim sing in endless praise: Holy, holy, holy Lord God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory The glorious company of apostles praise you The noble fellowship of prophets praise you The white-robed army of martyrs praise you Throughout the world the Holy Church accaims you Father of maesty unbounded, Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide You, Christ, are the king of glory, The eternal Son of the Father When you became man to set us free, You did not spurn the Virgin s womb, You overcame the sting of death, And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers You are seated at God s right hand in glory We believe that you will come and be our udge Come then, Lord, and help your people, Bought with the price of your own blood, Bring us with your saints to glory everlasting Amen
