Grant Us Peace
Our season finale will feature Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, a dramatic plea for peace based on poems by Walt Whitman, Biblical passages, and other sources. Some of the featured movements include “Beat! Beat! Drums!,” “Reconciliation,” and “Dirge for Two Veterans.” The program also features Johannes Brahms’ Schicksalslied, considered to be one of the composer’s most beautiful and exquisite shorter works. Houston Choral Society is excited to share the stage with the Houston Christian University Choirs and the Houston Civic Symphony! It will be a grand musical collaboration that will amaze and reach deep into the hearts of the audience.
