Lee Kesselman : Dona Nobis Pacem

Younger and developing choirs will display tone, phrasing and expressiveness with this lovely original setting of Dona Nobis Pacem. Opening with a flowing statement of the melody in F minor, it then moves into a 3-Part canon followed by a contrasting section in D flat major, a modulation and return of the main theme. Available separately: 3-Part Any Combination, VoiceTrax CD. Duration: ca. 2:45.
