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. The complete major work “Te Deum” (48002908) was performed at the 2017 National ACDA Conference in Minneapolis.
