This beautiful chant has been sung for hundreds of years… ‘Te lucis ante terminum’ means “before the ending of the day”, and is traditionally sung at the service of compline, which has its roots in the 4th century. For those who’d like to know, this chant is set here to Mode VIII, festal tone. 🎶 You can hear more works like this on our album, ‘Fading’.
