The Papal Legate enters the San Miguel Mission, shortly before he must order its liquidation. From the hauntingly beautiful film, The Misson (1986) El emisario del Vaticano entra a la Mision San Miguel, poco antes de que ordenara su destruccion. Escena de la pelicula.
I have seen other beautiful performances of the "Te Deum Guarani" on YouTube, in which the following text is used as two verses:
Te Deum Laudamus, te Dominum confitemur
Te per orbem terrarum sancta confitetur Ecclesia
Te aeternum Patrem omnis terra veneratur
Tibi omnes Angeli, tibi Caeli et universae
The second line, "throughout the world the holy Church acknowledges Thee," is from line 10 of Saint Ambrose's Hymn, "Te Deum."
*** Disclaimer: I do not own the copyright to the underlying material included in this video, but I have provided the Latin subtitles & translation for education purposes only, in the hopes that it will enhance the understanding of this amazing film and its breathtaking musical score.
I cannot in good faith say that this video is for educational purposes only, as the clip itself has an inherent dramatic, spiritual and artistic value that far exceeds my small contribution here. I am personally and spiritually indebted to the creators of this work--Ennio Morricone for the hauntingly beautiful musical compositions, and Robert Bolt, Roland Joffé, the Waunana et al. for making the film "The Mission." I cannot say how many times over how many years I have listened to this music, and how much time I have spent contemplating the meaning of this tragedy.
It is my sincere hope that anyone who encounters this work of art here will go on to see it in a theater, or purchase the film on DVD--it is something filled with Beauty and Truth that you will want to make a part of your moral and spiritual life.
