This is fantastic and timely and apropos,

a cry out of despair engulfing Mother Earth.

Watching the choir members in ordinary clothes 

and listening to the plaintive voices of the choir made me tearful.

Thank you, Dr. Kim.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Of all the songs ever written, the simple ones can be some of the best. "Dona Nobis Pacem," which means 'Grant Us Peace,' is one such song. The songs's simple but powerful message is still very relevant in today's world. 

The origin of the song is not definitively known. It is sometimes attributed to Mozart but the source is usually listed as "Traditional" in most musical texts. While it is a beautiful piece, from an academic standpoint it is not very well written. This likely means that the hymn has its origins in folk music. Our best guess is that it is an old Christmas song written in the 16^th or 17^th century by an unknown composer in Germany. It has long since been widely used in several other European countries. 

Today it is present in many church hymnals and a portion of the Agnus Dei from the Roman Catholic Mass. It is usually sung around Christmas time due to its message of peace.

Dona Nobis Pacem 의 History 감사합니다.

이번 가을에 4 곡을 하여 하나로 만들 예정입니다.

흰옷을 입고 배경도 흰벽으로 통일 했읍니다.

처음 으로 녹음하여 보내면 어느 회사에서 만들어 줍니다.

72명이 참가하여 기뻤읍니다.

성경속의 찬송가들 아름 답습니다.모든 곡이

완성되길 기원 합니다.다시 감사 드립니다.

I assume you guys were, at least, 6 feet apart by looking at the video. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.

What a new way of doing things under the coronavirus pandemic.

However, this video format of the chorus is not bad at all !!
I can see every individual singing faces with their own facial movements

and it's an amazing video production.

By the way, it is a beautiful chorus.

Doc, I could not find you among these faces.

I am on the left 2nd row 3rd from the top with a headphone. And 2nd picture, I am at the bottom row 2nd from the right. The conductor said I was the first one to send the video. It was challenging to send videos to everybody. It was a good experience. Thank you.

Now, I see you. Thanks.

I thought making the video might have been much harder than sending it.

Anyway, good job. Enjoy !!
