About This Song

About "Te Deum (1984/85; rev. 1992) for 3 Choruses, piano, strings and tape : Pärt: Te Deum (1984/85; rev. 1992) for 3 Choruses, piano, strings and tape: Dignare, Domine" by Coro Dell'Accademia Nazionale Di Santa Cecilia

Pärt's 'Dignare, Domine' closes the Te Deum with a plea that hangs in the air like incense. The chorus thins to a whisper, each voice a thread of light. Santa Cecilia delivers a final, trembling calm—supplication as a door left open, the silence afterward more eloquent than any amen.
