Video Title :	Henry V, Kenneth Branagh,Agincourt 3,Non Nobis, and Te Deum
Description :	Henry V (1989) Kenneth Branagh, Non Nobis, and Te Deum Non nobis, is a short Latin hymn used as a prayer of thanksgiving and expression of humility. The Latin text derives from Psalm 113:9 (according to the Vulgate numbering), which corresponds to Psalm 115:1 in the King James Version. It reads... Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, [Not to us, Lord, not to us] Sed nomini tuo da gloriam. [But to Thy name give the glory] This psalm celebrates the defeat of the Egyptian armies and God's deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea. Shakespeare, in his play Henry V, has the king proclaim the singing of both the Non nobis and Te Deum after the victory at Agincourt Henry V was the most active dramatic experience Shakespeare ever presented. In his 1989 film, Kenneth Branagh underlines the theatrical emphasis of this implicit stage direction. He extends the climax for several minutes by setting Patrick Doyle's choral-symphonic rendition of the 'Non Nobis' hymn behind a single tracking shot that follows Henry as he bears the dead body of a boy across the corpse- strewn field of Agincourt. The idea for this operatic device was supplied by Holinshed, who copied it from Halle, who got the story from a chain of traditions that originated in the event staged by the real King Henry in 1415.

There is no glory in war, no matter how just or honorable. It is a blight upon all men's souls that will only be righted when we reforge the sword for the plow, turn the coffin into a cradle, and transform the battlefield into a farm. Pray, my friends. Pray that that day may come swiftly and we may yet live long enough to see it. My only regret is that should I indeed see it, my heart will break and weep, weep for the countless who died at the sword because that day of peace wasn't soon enough.

its a catchy tune

There are no atheist in warfare.

Bull

GOOD COMMENT!!!! And how many battles have you seen? of thats right, your full of bull. have a good day.

OK,and you know every battle in history,and every single person who was involved,right? Damn,wasn't aware god used YouTube

God doesn't need youtube! I didn't claim to know everything or be god as you suggest. However, I did state that there are no Athiests in warfare. When you see the blood and death you will realize whos hands your life is in. As to your great comment of "bull", I still have to congradulate you for coming up with that all by yourself.

I love this scene in the movie...for me, it is the most moving protrayal of Henry V I've seen in a long time.

manifestlyenglish has it quite right in spirit. Montjoy is simply and mercifully trying to keep the widows and other loved ones of the dead,most likely French, from having the horrific images of their dead burned into their minds and souls forever. It is a poignant moment, well-directed and acted. Incidentally, I chose this glorious piece as my wedding processional. There wasn't a dry eye in the place.

Non nobis Domine, domine non nobis domine sed nomini sed nomini tuo da gloriam! Psalms 113 - one of the "Hallel" psalms ("Praise Jah!... Praise the name of Jehovah")
