Dona Nobis Pacem 4 by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
Hush, a quiet to the mind comes.
Hush, a stillness to the soul comes.
A vastness of silent wonder fills the heart
and the condemnation castings start to fall away;
the derisions cease.

About Dona Nobis Pacem 4
The text of Kenneth Langer's Dona Nobis Pacem 4 expresses a profound journey towards inner peace. It opens with a sense of quietude and stillness descending upon the mind and soul, leading to a vast wonder that dissolves condemnation and derision. This transformation is likened to a softness as great as thunder, a web of light sparkling like the sun. The disparate elements of existence are then shown to come together as one, culminating in the arrival of peace. Scored for SATB choir in English, this work falls within the secular cantata genre, offering a contemplative musical setting of these evocative words.
