Te Lucis Ante Terminum
A setting of the hymn for Compline
SATB & Organ
FRANCIS SHEPHERD
Te lucis ante terminum, rerum Creator, poscimus, ut solita clementia, sis praesul ad custodiam.
Procul recedant somnia, et noctium phantasmata: hostemque nostrum comprime, ne polluantur corpora.
Praesta, Pater omnipotens, per Iesum Christum Dominum, qui tecum in perpetuum regnat cum Sancto Spiritu.
Composer’s Note:
This setting of the Latin hymn for the office of Compline is based on the Mode VIII chant – in each section the chant melody can be heard in at least one voice part, and should be sung slightly to the forefront. The opening chant should be sung metrically but with some freedom, and should always be guided by the natural stresses of the text. The organ part is designed to be playable either on a small chamber organ or on a larger instrument. Registrations are suggestions only. FJS, Nov 2014.
