The French organist and composer Théodore Dubois, winner of the prestigious Prix de Rome and later professor and director of the famous Paris Conservatoire, wrote the piece Adoramus te, Christe as the final chorus of his oratorio Les sept paroles du Christ (The Seven Last Words of Christ). With this short, unostentatious and just therefore so impressive chorale premiered in 1867 Dubois has succeeded in creating a piece of Passion music that is perfect in its form. Michael Aschauer’s sensitive adaptation for male choir is based closely on the original. To be sung with the original Latin or English lyrics (Christ, We Do All Adore Thee).
