Le Sueur - Tu es Petrus .wmv

The day of Napoleon's coronation
At 10.30am, the pontifical cortège reached Notre-Dame. At the entrance to the archbishop's palace (over which had been erected a reception tent for the carriages), the pope was met by the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal du Belloy. After donning the ceremonial robes and his celebrated tiara, the pope entered the cathedral to the sound of Le Sueur's motet, Tu es Petrus, and took his seat on the throne set aside for him on the left-hand side of the choir near the high altar.

[Angelos1975GR]

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.

[africanchina1]

thumbs up if the Napoleon PBS documentary brought u here!

[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?

[MandGmusics]

@pablononescobar Jajajaja maybe, but Napoleon was bigger

[pablononescobar]

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

[MandGmusics]

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