Le Sueur - Tu es Petrus .wmv

[SirGunishment]

When i hear this music i think of Napoleon and his military glory. Not God.

[talesdauphin]

As an atheist I almost wish that God really exists to give reason to music like this exist!

[LestatxLouis1]

Sheer awesomeness.

[TheDanieleroach]

Ma chi ha associato Napoleone con il Tu es Petrus? Un idiota? O peggio?

[emangi1]

@TheDanieleroach e' stato cantato perche' papa pio vii era presente.

[pablononescobar]

shouldn't that be a portrait of Pope Pius VII for whom this was played?

[MandGmusics]

@pablononescobar Jajajaja maybe, but Napoleon was bigger

[MandGmusics]

Viva Napoleón Bonaparte! su mismo nombre es sinónimo de grandeza temeraria y divina!

[africanchina1]

thumbs up if the Napoleon PBS documentary brought u here!

Latin text

Tu es Petrus

et super hanc petram ædificabo ecclesiam meam

et portæ inferi non prævalebunt adversus eam.

Et tibi dabo claves regni cælorum

English translation

You are Peter,

And upon this Rock I will build My Church:

and the gates of hell shall not overcome it.

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.

[raduzio]
