Dona nobis pacem and Lux aeterna were both written for concert programs devoted to specific themes. They share the use of the techniques of minimalism in their organ parts, enabling the broad vocal lines in the choral voices to stretch out above this instrument, thus imparting a special aspect to the concerns addressed by the texts: the longing for freedom in the here and now, as expressed in the Dona nobis pacem, as well as the desire for peace and tranquillity in the Lux aeterna. Score available separately - see item CA.751600.

This piece is an adaptation of the instrumental movement Reflection in Kim André ArnesenÂ’s large-scale work The Stranger. Arnesen was inspired by research showing the emotional effect of having eye contact with a stranger for only a few minutes. Studies have shown that this can develop deeper trust and empathy for each other. The idea was to have the audience facing each other to make eyecontact during the performance. With that being essential for peace among people, Arnesen used the texts “Dona nobis pacem†(“Grant us peaceâ€) and “Miserere nobis†(“Have mercy on usâ€) for this version for choir. An optional piano part is supplied which not only supports the choral harmonies, but provides underlying momentum, though a slightly slower tempo is suggested if the piano accompaniment is used.

For SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied Dona nobis pacem combines two lines about peace from the Ordinary of the Latin Mass. A slow tempo lends grace and poise to the gentle, sustained vocal lines, and the composer juxtaposes homophonic and contrapuntal writing to great effect. The piece may be performed in the alternative key of B major.

Matthew Brown interprets the liturgical phrase Dona Nobis Pacem (meaning 'grant us peace') as the lifelong struggle of individuals to achieve peace in their own lives. These ideas are expressed by the music: forgetful, perhaps devoid of hope, fighting out battles. Text in Latin.
