from Te Deum (Verba Domini cum verbis populi)
The anonymous Middle English text is a beautiful, poignant contemplation of mortality, and Argento's setting of it casts a quiet, haunting spell. The men's chorus is occasionally joined by an insistent single chime note. Thecomplete major work Te Deum (979-0-051-32380-7) was performed at the 2017 National ACDA Conference in Minneapolis.
