[Magdalen] Trinity Anyone?

[Joseph Cirou]

Ascension may do the Te Deum; but Scott moans every year about the dreary
recitation of the Athanasian Creed.
I don't believe it is sung; if is it is in a simple psalm tune.  Is there a
full blown musical setting of the Athanasian Creed?
(maybe the Swedenborgians in Greek?)
