Program Notes & Lyrics
Dona Nobis Pacem
A Cantata for Soprano and Baritone Soli, Chorus and Orchestra
Written by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) and premiered in late 1936 as Europe careened toward war yet again, Dona Nobis Pacem features poetry by Walt Whitman in reaction to the American Civil War, a protest against the Crimean War by British Liberal MP John Bright, and numerous passages from the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.
When he wrote the cantata, Vaughan Williams was in his sixties, but he had been an ambulance driver during the First World War, then named “The War to End All Wars.” He experienced the carnage and bloodshed of war first-hand. By 1935 when he was commissioned to write a major work for a choral society, Japan had attacked Manchuria and Shanghai, Italy had attacked Ethiopia, and Germany had rearmed and created the Luftwaffe, both in violation of the Versailles Treaty. This was soon to be followed by the armed occupation of the demilitarized Rhineland on the French border in March 1936. World War II officially began just 42 months later, September 1, 1939.
In choosing trumpets and drums to play such a prominent role in the second movement, Beat! Beat! Drums!, as well as his choice of Walt Whitman’s reactions to the American Civil War, Vaughan Williams was warning his audiences of the horrors of war. At the same time, he provided listeners with moments of mournful solace in the lyrical third movement, Reconciliation: “Word over all, beautiful as the sky, Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost….” In the final movement, Vaughan Williams offers hope and a benediction for mankind to choose a different path, beginning with the words from Isaiah, “Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”
Yet, after the seemingly endless bloodshed of the 20th Century, followed by almost non-stop warfare to date in the 21st Century, we have yet to learn that lesson.
Notes by Lou De La Rosa
Dona Nobis Pacem
Mvt. I Agnus Dei (Lento)
Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi Dona nobis pacem
Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, Grant us peace.
Mvt. II Beat! beat! drums! (Allegro moderato)
Beat! beat! drums! – Blow! bugles! Blow!
Through the windows – through the doors burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet – no happiness must he have now with his bride;
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field, or gathering in his grain;
So fierce you whirr and pound you drums – so shrill you bugles blow.
Beat! beat! drums! – Blow! bugles! blow!
Over the traffic of cities – over the rumble of wheels in the streets:
Are beds prepared for the sleepers at night in the houses?
No sleepers must sleep in those beds;
No bargainers' bargains by day – no brokers or speculators – would they continue?
Would the talkers be talking? Would the singer attempt to sing?
Then rattle quicker, heavier drums – you bugles wilder blow.
Beat! beat! drums! – Blow! bugles! blow!
Make no parley – stop for no expostulation,
Mind not the timid – mind not the weeper or prayer;
Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
Let not the child's voice be heard, nor the mother's entreaties;
Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie awaiting the hearses,
So strong you thump O terrible drums – so loud you bugles blow.
Mvt. III Reconciliation (Allegro moderato)
Word over all, beautiful as the sky,
Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost,
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night incessantly, softly, wash again and ever again this soiled world;
For my enemy is dead, a man divine as myself is dead,
I look where he lies white-faced and still in the coffin.
I draw near, Bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin.
- Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
Mvt. IV Dirge for Two Veterans (Moderato alla marcia)
The last sunbeam Lightly falls from the finished Sabbath,
On the pavement here, and there beyond it is looking
Down a new-made double grave.
Lo, the moon ascending,
Up from the east the silvery round moon,
Beautiful over the house-tops, ghastly, phantom moon,
Immense and silent moon.
I see a sad procession,
And I hear the sound of coming full-keyed bugles,
All the channels of the city streets they're flooding
As with voices and with tears.
I hear the great drums pounding,
And the small drums steady whirring,
And every blow of the great convulsive drums
Strikes me through and through.
For the son is brought with the father,
In the foremost ranks of the fierce assault they fell,
Two veterans, son and father, dropped together,
And the double grave awaits them.
Now nearer blow the bugles,
And the drums strike more convulsive,
And the daylight o'er the pavement quite has faded,
And the strong dead-march enwraps me.
In the eastern sky up-buoying,
The sorrowful vast phantom moves illumined,
'Tis some mother's large transparent face, In heaven brighter growing.
O strong dead-march you please me!
O moon immense with your silvery face you soothe me!
O my soldiers twain! O my veterans passing to burial!
What I have I also give you.
The moon gives you light,
And the bugles and the drums give you music,
And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,
My heart gives you love.
- Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
Mvt. V The Angel of Death has been abroad (L’istesso tempo)
The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land; you may almost hear the beating of his wings. There is no one as of old . . . to sprinkle with blood the lintel and the two side-posts of our doors, that he may spare and pass on. - John Bright (1811–1889)
Dona nobis pacem.
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan; the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land...and those that dwell therein...
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved... Is there no balm in Gilead?; is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? - Jeremiah 8: 15-16, 20, 22
Mvt. 6
O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be unto thee, be strong, yea be strong. - Daniel 10:19
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former ... and in this place will I give peace. - Haggai 2:9
Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. - Isaiah 2: 4
And none shall make them afraid...neither shall the sword go through their land. - Leviticus, 26:6
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. - Psalm 85:10
Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will go into them. - Psalm 118:19
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled; ... and let them hear, and say, it is the truth. - Isaiah 43:9
And it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see my glory. And I will set a sign among them ... and they shall declare my glory among the nations. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, so shall your seed and your name remain forever. - Isaiah 66: 18-19, 22
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. - Luke 2: 14
Dona nobis pacem.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Symphonic Suite
for Large Orchestra, Chorus, and Rock Band by Sunna Wehrmeijer
Orchestration by Peter Bateman & James Beauton
DreamWorks Animation’s She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is a reboot of the original 1985 Filmation series She-Ra: Princess of Power. It follows protagonist Adora and friends as they confront and ultimately topple an authoritarian regime through kindness, friendship, and love.
Possibly as an homage to the original, showrunner ND Stevenson hoped for a score that was “sparkly 80s orchestral.” And Sunna Wehrmeijer’s Annie Award winning She-Ra soundtrack is certainly that! The 2018-2020 five season Netflix run consists of 52 episodes, and thus countless hours of musical scoring. The suite heard tonight parses this down to a cohesive 34 minute medley of selections from the show.
Originally composed via a digital audio workstation (DAW), with all digital sounds, this symphonic suite brings Wehrmeijer’s She-Ra score to life acoustically. The creation of a notated score began in early 2024, as a collaboration between Wehrmeijer and the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts Orchestra in San Francisco. The music of She-Ra was heard live by people for the first time in May 2025, with Wehrmeijer and Stevenson in attendance. It was premiered by talented young musicians who grew up inspired and influenced by a show known for its inclusivity, representation, and belonging.
Sadly, due to the expiration of licensing agreements and the lack of other networks pursuing said licensing, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is no longer available for streaming on any platform (and the final two seasons were never printed on physical media). Though, there is still hope that the series may find a streaming home in the future. In the meantime, the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Symphonic Suite is here to stay, and will be heard tonight for the second time.
