We sang this song as a round in church choir one time. It was beautiful. Half the choir started out with the latin version, then the other half came in after a times of "dona nobis pacem", and they sang it in English, "Holy Father grant us peace". It was just those simple words, beautiful harmony, done in a round, and people cried.
Dona nobis pacem (Latin: Give us peace) is a phrase in the Agnus Dei section of the Roman Catholic mass. It was set as a separate, final movement in Bach's Mass in B Minor.
Oh, I just listened to it again. That's a completely different dona nobis pacem in the H-Moll-Messe. There are millions of them, because as you said, it's part of mass.
We have a 4 part choir and we sing it rather different....

This one? It's not part of the H-Moll-Messe on any records I've got?

Thank you for sharing! It's my favourite dona nobis pacem. Who composed it?
