Dona Nobis Pacem | SATB a cappella | flowing score

Text: Dona Nobis Pacem - “Grant us Peace” Program Notes: In the spring of 2021, myself and other university students around the world had nearly completed what seemed like an impossible school year to tackle, given the significant alterations to life caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I was asked to write a short benediction of sorts by Dr. Christopher Cock, the conductor of the Valparaiso University Chorale. It was intended to close a virtual concert that we were putting together, consisting of three movements from Johannes Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem and John Tavener’s timeless setting of The Lamb. Humbled and honored, I accepted his offer and the piece wrote itself in a few days. When writing it, I tried to think about the peace our world so desperately needs, and the times that we were living through were certainly a living reminder of that. I attempted to channel that desire and longing for peace into the music, and it is my hope that the urgency for peace and the calm that it may bring to our lives is felt when this piece is performed. Dona Nobis Pacem. Grant us peace. Choir: 2020-2021 Valparaiso University Chorale, Christopher Cock, conductor. Audio Engineering: Zac Flasch
