Subscription Concert #3


Peace - Pacem

Benjamin Britten's
Rejoice in the Lamb

Ralph Vaughan Williams'
Dona Nobis Pacem



Rejoice in the Lamb, a festival cantata in
four parts, is Britten's classic setting of the
"Jubilate Agno," written by mystic
eighteenth-century English poet
Christopher Smart. Vaughan Williams'
Dona Nobis Pacem was conceived as a
warning against the gathering clouds of war
hovering over 1930s Europe and is his
ultimate choral expression, with the calming
Latin text of the Agnus Dei set against
disturbing and provocative poetry
by Walt Whitman and John Bright.
