Program

Joseph Haydn, Lord Nelson Mass

Ralph Vaughan Williams, Dona Nobis Pacem

Frank London, Final Anthem from 1001 Voices: A Symphony for a New America

Join us for a concert meant to inspire peace and unity in challenging times. Haydn’s Nelson Mass, written during a time of strife in Europe, is followed by Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem, a plea for peace that masterfully juxtaposes words from the Latin Mass with poetry by Walt Whitman. The concert concludes with the final anthem from 1001 Voices: A Symphony for a New America, which reimagines Emma Lazarus’s famous poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty as an alternative national anthem. QCCS will be joined by high school and middle school choirs from throughout the area in a vision of harmony and hope for the future.
