VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, Dona Nobis Pacem

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 – 1958) Dona Nobis Pacem Yasmina Sabbah, Conductor Le Chœur de l’USJ The Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra Julie Martin du Theil, Soprano Philippe Nicolas Martin, Baritone Chadi Zein, Art and Stage Director Concert Foreword In the crazy times we are going through, being able to still make music has indeed become a blessing we do not take lightly. We try as much as we can, in every concert we perform, to raise our voices to make a difference in our community. Our past two concerts have been fundraisers for the Lebanese Food Bank and Healthcare workers of Hotel Dieu. Today, we sing for peace. The center piece of our program will feature Vaughan William’s Dona Nobis Pacem — Latin for “grant us peace”— a mesmerizing piece that combines poems by Walt Whitman, a speech to British Parliament, and passages from the bible. This work is a cry for peace, in which the composer takes us on a journey from the horrors of war to a universal plea for world peace, all messages pertinent and vital in today’s Lebanon. While it was written as a warning before World War II and a plea not to repeat the carnage of previous wars, its message of harmony and reconciliation amidst chaos and violence is what we need most during these uncertain and difficult times. Composed in 1936, the work served as a rallying cry for the anti-war movement capturing the fear and anxiety of the people leading up to the war. On the eve of the Blitz, the BBC tried unsuccessfully to broadcast the work throughout Germany as a piece of musical propaganda. However, during the war itself, the piece was performed throughout Britain to give the population some hope of a future of peace. This message tightly connected to our Lebanese in which we are reminded of the past horrors of war, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past and that there are no winners in war. Lebanon has endured a bloody and violent 15-year civil war and a series of violent events leading to the August-4 explosion. Though our bloody past has not been forgotten, and while peace may still be far, we have no choice but to dream for it. The recurring prayer “grant us peace” haunts the entire work, finally triumphing over the terrors of war which are explicitly described in Whitman’s poems.
