Te Deum(音樂會欣賞)

導聆:Te Deum(維基百科)

The Te Deum (also known as Te Deum Laudamus, Ambrosian Hymn or A Song of the Church) is an early Christian hymn of praise. The title is taken from its opening Latin words, rendered literally as "Thee, O God, we praise".

The hymn remains in regular use in the Catholic Church in the Office of Readings found in the Liturgy of the Hours, and in thanksgiving to God for a special blessing such as the election of a pope, the consecration of a bishop, the canonization of a saint, a religious profession, the publication of a treaty of peace, a royal coronation, etc.It is sung either after Mass or the Divine Office or as a separate religious ceremony.^[1] The hymn also remains in use in the Anglican Communion and some Lutheran Churches in similar settings.

In the traditional Office, the Te Deum is sung at the end of Matins on all days when the Gloria is said at Mass; those days are all Sundays outside Advent, Septuagesima, Lent, and Passiontide; on all feasts (except the Triduum) and on all ferias during Eastertide. Before the 1962 reforms, neither the Gloria nor the Te Deum were said on the feast of the Holy Innocents, unless it fell on Sunday, as they were martyred before the death of Christ and therefore could not immediately attain the beatific vision.^[2]

In the Liturgy of the Hours of Paul VI, the Te Deum is sung at the end of the Office of Readings on all Sundays except those of Lent, on all solemnities, including the octaves of Easter and Christmas, and on all feasts.^[3] It is also used together with the standard canticles inMorning Prayer as prescribed in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, in Matins for Lutherans, and is retained by many other churches of the Reformed tradition. It is also used by the Eastern Orthodox Churches in the Paraklesis (Moleben) of Thanksgiving.

這場音樂會演唱了2個Te Deum作品,由二位在17世紀同一時間的音樂家寫的作品,二位在當時是死對頭,第一首由Marc Antoine Charpentier(1634-1704)作曲,第二首由Jean B. Lully (1632-1687)作曲.300多年前不可能同台演唱的作品,如今同時呈現,奇哉妙哉!
Te Deum一般中文翻譯成"感恩曲",李振邦神父所著的"宗教音樂"一書中的論述如下:
