A Mass for Peace

www.musicatransalpina.org

In a rapidly modernizing world marked by conflict, Jacobus de Kerle masterfully weaves the ethereal votive antiphon Da pacem, Domine into a magnificent cantus firmus mass as a cry for peace. Possibly written as a commemoration of the epic sea victory at Lepanto in 1570, this work was lavishly published in 1583 by the legendary press of Christophe Plantin, the most prestigious publishing house in history.

We are proud to present the first complete performance of this glorious Mass setting in modern times, performed for the first time in America. We hope that you will find its soaring melodies & noble harmonic language a moving call to peace in your own heart.
