[HANASHIR:2142] sim shalom

[goldenberg <goldnbrg...>]

Dona Nobis Pacem is attributed to Palestrina in the book SHiron L'Shalom-a 
sourchebook of Jewish Songs for peace education. edited by Ann Carol Abrams and 
Lucy Joan Sollogub (ED) Quote: " This Latin round, written in the Renaissance 
by Palestrina, repeats over and over the same words: 'Give us peace" Both the 
Hebrew and Latin renditions may be sung as a 3 part round....." There are times 
when a choir sings at a service, and times when they sing in concert.  Choirs 
will benefit from hearing the style of  the music and the polyphony, even if 
they do not sing it at a service.  DO it, and put it in repetoire to learn 
from, if not perform some day in concert, perhaps an ecumenical Thanksgiving 
concert, etc.
