Arvo Pärt - Te Deum

[robandwood]

This is possibly the best recording of this sublime work. Everything about it is perfect; the ambience, the sensitivity and sense of occasion. Wonderful, magisterial music. Thank you for posting this.

This is a Masterpiece! Just put Good headphones and turn on volume and turn off the lights and close your eyes! Music can go to the deepest organs of your body and I don´t know much masterpieces that reach those points! :) I have an honour to meet Arvo Pärt few times, the Peace himself...

This is a magnificent composition and a masterpiece of a recording.

Ive listen to this hundreds of times. THIS recording. I first heard it in 1993 or 94 in a record store. Its the only thing that ever made me question my atheism. Every time I hear it, I hear it differently. There are a hundred small poems in this that shift depending on, I guess, how I am that particular moment. When I bought it, I couldn't listen to anything else for 6 months. Its been thirty years and THIS recording still has that same power.

Te deum is the solemn hymn of praise we sing at vows, election of abbot, final ritual for Pentecost…in the Benedictine order…it’s highest praise of God!

No comments on this extraordinary piece? I feel at once privy to something special and sad that no one else has heard it.

I have never heard "sanctus" set this way. It sounds like infinitely tender cooing. Is this what our souls do when they return to God the mother?

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,
Tu Patris sempiternus es Filius.
Tu ad liberandum suscepturus hominem non horruisti virginis uterum.
Tu devicto mortis aculeo aperuisti credentibus regna caelorum.
Tu ad dexteram Dei sedes, in gloria Patris.
Iudex crederis esse venturus.
Te ergo quaesumus, tuis famulis subveni, quos pretioso sanguine redemisti!
Aeterna fac cum Sanctis tuis in gloria numerari!
Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hereditati tuae!
Et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in aeternum!
Per singulos dies benedicimus te
Et laudamus nomen tuum in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi.
Dignare, Domine, die isto sine peccato nos custodire!
Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri!
Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te!
In te, Domine, speravi: non confundar in aeternum. Amen. Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus.

Te Deum means "For You"

Meaning a godlike celestial figure in the sky.

I heard last time a interpretate of Austrian Phillharmonikzer, and all the Eterna Record records with tho' hymn.
But nowhere's compare with it. OK, had'it be equalize aparting with arpeggiophonism of Wagner.
