The Choir of King's College sings choral works by Bernstein and Vaughan Williams
For this new recording of Dona Nobis Pacem, a new version has been created by Jonathan Rathbone, paring down Vaughan Williams’s full orchestra to chamber proportions, the better to balance it with the young voices of the King’s College Choir. The piece continues to pack a considerable punch in Rathbone’s edition. Timpani and snare drum still rattle ominously in ‘Beat! beat! drums!’, and a nervous trumpet chatters.
