Cypress Choral Music Da Pacem Domine - Togni - SATB
Additional Photos:
Composer: Peter-Anthony Togni
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SATB a cappella
Da Pacem Domine is part of a work I wrote in 2014 called Warrior Songs, a work about the concept of non-aggression, of a true Warrior, one who never actually goes into battle. I drew inspiration from Tibetan Buddhist texts, from Malcolm X and from the from my own Roman Catholic tradition. My motet Da Pacem Domine is based on one of the most beautiful Gregorian Chant melodies. Even though the text is peaceful and hopeful, it still calls for surrender to God's will. The chant sounds rather serious, even somber, but again points to the fact that peace does not mean tranquillity, it is often a steady walk in the face of adversity.
