Ralph Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem Written between WWI and WWII, Vaughan Williams’ masterful anti-war cantata Dona nobis pacem (Grant us peace) is one of the composer’s best known works. Scored for soloists, choir, and orchestra, it is an impassioned plea for peace, incorporating Biblical text with the emotionally charged anti-war poetry of Walt Whitman, creating a searing indictment of the tragedy of war.
