DONA NOBIS PACEM

Featuring Sherry Doyle, Soprano, and David Meyer, Baritone
The poetry of Walt Whitman and the liturgical prayer“ Dona Nobis Pacem”( Grant us Peace) are beautifully set to music by Ralph Vaughan Williams. This moving cantata written in 1936 cries out for reconciliation in the anxious time between the world wars and speaks to us today. This concert will also feature the James Madison High School Madrigals, under the direction of Claire Rowan.

In November 2007, The City Choir of Washington’ s inaugural concert featured a triumphant performance of G. F. Handel’ s magnificent oratorio Solomon. As we close our 10th anniversary season, we are pleased to perform this wonderful work again with all the richness and drama the story of King Solomon provides in what promises to be another splendid performance.
