About This Song
About "Te deum, LWV 55: Pleni sunt caeli et terra" by Choeur De Chambre De Namur
Lully's Te Deum rises in a blaze of ceremonial counterpoint, the 'Pleni sunt caeli' section unfurling like incense across a royal chapel. The grandeur is absolute, yet the tension is in the sheer human effort of praise—voices straining toward heaven while earthbound bodies keep the measure.
