Me paenitet, MathaeeLatine, quod aliter quam vis significat id quod proposuisti (scilicet CHORI ANGELORVM TE IN REQVIEM CANANT). Nisi fallor, TE CANANT ita vult dicere: te collaudant vel te in requiem discessisse [defectivo modo] canant.

I fear, MathaeusLatinus, that what you have means something different. Unless I'm mistaken, TE CANANT means "they sing about you" or "they sing of you ['your having passed', elliptically] to rest".
