Sacred Music Sunday: Dona Nobis Pacem

I had planned to write a Lenten music post because Ash Wednesday is coming up this week. However, with the recent Russian attack on Ukraine, I felt the need to choose a different piece of sacred music for the week.

I first became acquainted with Dona Nobis Pacem when I was in college. Shortly after 9/11, the university choir was asked to perform it, so we learned it in a single rehearsal. It’s a simple and lovely tune with a text drawn from the Agnus Dei section of the mass. It translates to “grant us peace”.

  1. One of my kids learned this song in school. I was thinking of it on the drive home from church today. So perfect for today.
