Talk:Te Deum

message: The translation of Te Deum in the BCP:
 We praise thee, O God: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
 All the earth doth worship thee: the Father everlasting.
 To thee Angels cry aloud: the heavens and all the powers therein.
 To thee Cherubin and Seraphin: continually do cry,
 Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth;
 Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty: of thy glory.
 
 The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee.
 The goodly fellowship of the Prophets: praise thee.
 The noble army of Martyrs: praise thee.
 The holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknowledge thee;
 The Father: of an infinite majesty;
 Thine honourable, true: and only Son;
 Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter.
 
 Thou art the King of glory: O Christ.
 Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father.
 When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man: thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
 When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death: thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
 Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the glory of the Father.
 We believe that thou shalt come: to be our Judge.
 We therefore pray thee, help thy servants: whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
 Make them to be numbered with thy Saints: in glory everlasting.
 
 [O Lord, save thy people: and bless thine heritage.
 Govern them: and lift them up for ever.
 Day by day: we magnify thee;
 And we worship thy Name: ever world without end.
 Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin.
 O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us.
 O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us: as our trust is in thee.
 O Lord, in thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.]

replies: text: This is also the text used in (at least) Handel's setting of the Te Deum.  It reads better to me, but I'm obviously biased :) Dewet 14:47, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree - that text *is* the Te Deum - although I think of it sung by bad choirs to various Anglican chants. Perhaps that should be given as the English version rather than the moderately literal modern translation that's currently there (although that's better than the <a href="http://www.cofe.anglican.org/worship/liturgy/commonworship/texts/canticles/canticlesmv3.html#tedeum">CofE's latest effort</A>).

message: Would it be appropriate to mention "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name"? (http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/h/o/holygod.htm) - it's very plainly based on the Te Deum, but I'm not sure it really deserves a page of its own. Cheyinka 22:37, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Charles Villiers Stanford also wrote three settings: Te Deum in B flat, Op. 10; Te Deum in C, Op. 115; and Te Deum in A.
: According to Grove V, Opp. 10 and 115 were not Te Deums but "Morning, Evening and Communion Services".  The only Te Deum in his list of works is his Op. 66 of 1898, written for the Leeds Festival, for solo voices, chorus and orchestra.  It doesn't give a key, but it might be the "Te Deum in A" referred to.  --  Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  21:31, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I read Te Deum Laudamus rendered literally as "Thee, O God, we praise". I would drop the word literally here, because there is no "O" nor a comma in the Latin, - or say "Thee God we praise". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:17, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither really pick up the thrust of the Latin as 'Deum' is accusative not vocative. It's one of a series of three accusatives (Deum, Dominum, Patrem) intended to be the same case as the repeated 'Te'. It would be more accurately translated as 'We praise Thee as God, we acknowledge Thee as Lord, All the earth doth worship thee as Father everlasting.' asnac (talk) 08:41, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Surprised not to see a mention of Havergal Brian's setting of the Te Deum, which forms the second, longer part of his vast Gothic Symphony.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.174.14.255 (talk) 20:15, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I added two works, wondering about the sorting? Is intended: composer's date of birth? date of composition? date of premiere? - Inconsistent in any case. I suggest to at least supply some dates, and not leave it to the reader to click both work and composer to find out. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:04, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The article on Te Deum (religious service) was created almost eight years ago and still consists of only one sentence, that refers to Te Deum. Even if you expand Te Deum (religious service), there will obviously be significant duplication of content, overlap and context problems. The information given there could easily be incorporated into the lead of Te Deum -- which is why this should be merged, as per WP:MERGEREASON. / Gavleson (talk) 10:42, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
