It was suggested that Anton Bruckner's could be used to complete his unfinished ninth symphony, and Thomas Tallis' version is titled "for meanes." William Walton wrote one of these for the coronation of Elizabeth II, and Handel composed three settings, including the "Dettigen" and "Utrecht," of this type of piece. Berlioz reordered the text of this prayer for his version, including excerpts from the Sanctus in the Tibi omnes, or "To thee all Angels cry aloud," section. For 10 points, name this prayer often set to music whose first words translate to "We praise thee, Oh God."
