The "Te Deum" (also known as The Ambrosian Hymn or A Song of The Church) is an Early-Christian Hymn of Praise. The title is taken from its opening Latin words, "Te Deum laudamus",

rendered as "Thee, O God, We Praise".

Monks of one of The Abbeys of The Solesmes Congregation

sing this beautiful Chant. The Te Deum is attributed to

two Fathers and Doctors of The Church, Saint Ambrose

and Saint Augustine, and is one the most majestic Chants

in The Liturgy of The Church.

It is sung in Traditional Seminaries and Monastic Houses

at The Divine Office and for Double Feasts of The First Class (Editor: Such as The Feast of All Saints), The Nativity, Easter, Corpus Christi, Epiphany, Pentecost, 

and those Feasts

which have an Octave.

The Solemn Te Deum is sung on all occasions of public

Church rejoicing (in Traditional Catholic Churches).
