Dona nobis pacem

Maggie Furtak's setting of Dona nobis pacem is a powerful anthem for SSATB choir. The Latin text, drawn from the Agnus Dei liturgy, pleads for peace, imploring the Lamb of God to have mercy upon us as He takes away the sins of the world. Furtak's music amplifies the profound spiritual and emotional weight of this ancient prayer. The rich texture of the SSATB voicing allows for a full and resonant expression of the text's central themes of supplication and the longing for divine peace. This sacred work is well-suited for liturgical settings or as a concert anthem, offering a moving reflection on hope and reconciliation.
