Festival Te Deum in E Flat by Dudley Buck — Lyrics
Te Deum laudamus: te Dominum confitemur.
Te aeternum patrem, omnis terra veneratur.
Tibi omnes Angeli: tibi caeli et universae potestates.
Tibi cherubim et seraphim, incessabili voce proclamant:
"Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra maiestatis gloriae tuae."
Te gloriosus Apostolorum chorus,
Te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus,
Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus.
Te per orbem terrarum sancta confitetur Ecclesia:
Patrem immensae maiestatis;
Venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.
Tu rex gloriae, Christe:

About Festival Te Deum in E Flat
This majestic setting of the Te Deum laudamus is suitable for SATB choir. The familiar Latin text, a hymn of praise and thanksgiving, is presented with a sense of grandeur and jubilant exultation. The composer captures the awe-inspiring nature of the text, moving from the acclamation by all creation and angelic hosts to the fervent pronouncements of saints and martyrs. The music reflects the profound theological statements, celebrating God as Father, the eternal Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. It is a fitting choice for occasions requiring a powerful and uplifting choral anthem, drawing on the rich tradition of sacred music.
