A Solemn Te Deum for Thanksgiving


Anglicans have traditionally celebrated occasions of Thanksgiving with the singing of the Te Deum laudamus. Ralph Vaugn Williams composed this solemn Te Deum for the enthronement of Cosmo Gordon Lang as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1928.

Thanks, a great tribute to the Anglican, Reformed and Calvinistic patrimony. Forwarded.

Another great rendering of Te Deum for Morning Prayer.

Also, the Psalter-set from St. Paul's, London, for the Psalter-readings of Morning and Evening Prayer. Pricey-but-worthy, as an aide to 1662 BCP worship. This set "just is," as an important aide to BCP Churchmanship.

Regards,

Also, the great Psalter-set from St. Paul's, London, tuned to the great 1662 BCP-Psalter. But what do the Americans know of this?

Other readers, surprise me.
