Voices of Connection: 11/18 Bach: “Dona nobis pacem” from Mass in B Minor
Last night we had our 30th Anniversary Virtual Gala. What an extraordinary evening it was! The Gala ended on a really high note: a special virtual presentation of this final movement of the B Minor Mass, which we are happy to share today! In concluding his great Mass with the movement “Dona Nobis Pacem” Bach chose to repeat the music of the “Gratias agimus tibi”. It is testimony to Bach’s supreme genius that, even though this is the same music heard much earlier in the work, is sounds quite different coming at the very end of the Mass - even more inspiring this time, more elevated, and more totally universal. – Dennis Keene
