ERNST PEPPING : Missa 'Dona nobis pacem'
(for unaccompanied SATB-SATB div. choir)
Wednesday 17 November, 1948 – Berlin
Spandauer Kantorei, dir. Gottfried Grote
Bärenreiter Verlag, 1949 (BA 2262)
“The choral music of Ernst Pepping occupies an interesting place within the context of choral music in the 20th century. Pepping's compositional style has deep foundations in the lineage of German musical traditions, particularly those of the Protestant church, but does not remain tied to the limitations of the harmonic language of those Romantic traditions.
... Missa 'Dona Nobis Pacem' looks back in several ways to the traditional compositions of the mass that preceded it. In addition to imitative writing, a cappella scoring, and use of double choir, this Mass echoes the compositions of Giovanni Gabrielli & Heinrich Schütz.”
– Dr. Matthew Tresler
