This is a humble setting of the traditional "Dona Nobis Pacem" melody that I set for the Valparaiso University Chorale in the Spring of 2021. We were at the end of an extremely difficult academic year due to the prevalence of COVID-19 and the impact that it had on all facets of life, especially those of working and performing musicians. Not only that, but we had been through one the most divisive years in the history of our country, due to social injustices and tense political climates across our whole land. 

It is my hope that this setting brings you into a world of peace. Let us all never forget the great gift that life is, and how much better our lives may be if we could all live in peace and harmony with one another, regardless of our individual convictions. 

God bless you and your family. Thank you for listening!
