“Dona Nobis Pacem” is Latin for “Grant Us Peace.” This song is often sung or played as a round. Although the origin of the melody is unknown, it has sometimes been attributed to Palestrina. This arrangement can serve as a general anthem, benediction, or Christmas selection. The timeless message musically portrayed of peace makes it a perfect choice for any time of year! It is sensitive, graceful, and will be a moving moment in your concert or performance. You will really enjoy this delicate and emotional arrangement! It opens with a solo that develops into a round on the familiar melody. This simplistic beginning expands into a rich, full ensemble in the mid-section before returning to the gentle melody as the arrangement reverently and respectfully concludes. The dignity of the music is maintained throughout the entire work.
