<P> Shakespeare, in Henry V Act IV Scene 8, has the king proclaim the singing of both the Non nobis and the Te Deum after the victory at Agincourt . The canon is sung in the 1944 film of Henry V (starring Laurence Olivier), though we now know that the retexted version was not in existence as early as 1599, when the play was written . There is no stage direction in the play to indicate the singing of Non nobis Domine, but if Shakespeare had a specific setting in mind he was probably thinking anachronistically of a Protestant metrical psalm tune . However, in Hall's Chronicle (1542) Non nobis is sung as part of the complete psalm, presumably to plainsong or faburden . </P> <P> When the kyng had passed through the felde & saw neither resistence nor apparaunce of any Frenchmen savyng the dead corsses (corpses), he caused the retrayte to be blowen and brought al his armie together about, iiij (4). of the clocke at after noone . And fyrst to geve thankes to almightie God gever & tributor of this glorious victory, he caused his prelates & chapelaines fyrst to sing this psalme In exitu Israel de Egipto, commaundyng every man to knele doune on the ground at this verse . Non nobis domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam, whiche is to say in Englishe, Not to us lord, not to us, but to thy name let the glory be geven: whiche done he caused Te deum with certeine anthemes to be song gevyng laudes and praisyngcs to God, and not boastyng nor braggyng of him selfe nor his humane power . </P> <P> In England the canon came to form part of the repertory of glee clubs in the 18th and 19th centuries, and has traditionally been sung as a grace at public dinners . In modern times it has been quoted by Michael Tippett in his Shires Suite (1970). </P> <P> For the 1989 film adaptation by Kenneth Branagh, Patrick Doyle composed (and sang) a completely different setting that adapted the words slightly . </P>
