A solemn Te Deum is ordered on all occasions of rejoicing in Christian countries, so that, throughout history, nations opposed in war have used the same hymn to thank God for their alternating victories against one another.
Percy Scholes, (1877-1958) English musicologist, and author of the Oxford Companion to Music.
