About Da pacem Domine (Accoeuille m’a la belle)
This setting of a poignant Latin prayer for peace by Firminus Caron opens with a plea for tranquility for God's people, that they may worthily honour Him and rejoice eternally in His light. It is a three-part (SAT) motet that draws on the tradition of isorhythmic composition, though with a greater lyrical freedom. The composer's sensitive setting of the sacred text underscores the deep longing for divine peace and eternal communion.
