David Rain: "Te Deum laudamus"

"Te Deum laudamus" is a Latin hymn of praise that I have dedicated to my friend Patrick Lonergan. My SATB setting (with divisi) is full of uplifting sections, and it also has some contrasting, introspective sections, as befits the text. A very tonal piece, with sections that hearken back to the great Renaissance composers of the 15th and 16th centuries.
A huge thank you to the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir for their superb recording.

Special thanks go to my friend Vicki Obedkoff for her encouragement and support, and I would like to acknowledge the a cappella choir that I sang in for 28 years, The Stairwell Carollers, and director Pierre Massie, for their musical inspiration.
And with deep appreciation to my brother Adam Rain and my friend Geneviève Lajoie for their invaluable support throughout my composing journey.
