Originally conceived for upper voices, the composer has now made a version of his Dona nobis pacem for mixed voice choir. The organ part uses minimalist techniques; in contrast to this, the vocal lines of the choir are broadly overarching, giving the text a strong expressiveness which particularly emphasizes the longing for peace in the here and now.
