Please give me honest feedback. I have set the Te Deum to essentially the tone of Gloria 15 Dominus Deus, as it has some similarity in feel to the 'authentic melody' but much easier to sing.
I mean.... It works, but it feels like you're singing a Gloria instead of the Te Deum... The simple tone Te Deum is quite lovely - why not use that if the Solemn is too difficult?
