"Dona Nobis Pacem" by Peteris Vasks

:

it is somber and mournful, like Barber's "Adagio", but unfamiliar in some ways. It does not end on a grand hopeful gesture but invites pondering. And the message "grant us peace" is what I have wished for fervently since that fateful day... I wish the US had become more peaceful as a nation instead of more warlike in the aftermath of 9/11.
