Vaughan-Williams Epic and Beloved
DONA NOBIS PACEM
and Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal's Beautiful
MAGNIFICAT
Vaughan-Williams composed Dona Nobis Pacem as a plea for peace as he saw Europe sliding toward WW II even after the devastation of WW I - which he personally experienced. Choosing the poetry of Walt Whitman based on Whitman's experience in the Civil War, he created a true testament to peace.
When Camerata performed the Ruiz-Bernal Magnificat several years ago it was an audience, favorite so we have brought it back for an encore performance.
