In te Domine speravi by Philippe Verdelot — 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 In te Domine speravi
This setting of the Te Deum text by Philippe Verdelot is a powerful four-part motet for SATB choir. The Latin text, a hymn of praise to God, offers the choir the opportunity to explore the jubilant acclamations of creation. The music likely reflects the text's grandeur, moving from the opening recognition of God's eternal nature to the exultant "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus". This piece would be suitable for general use within a sacred context, offering a substantial and traditional setting of a foundational Christian text.
