- Edition notes: vocal arrangement by Glen Thompson of 'Prelude in C# minor, BWV 849'. I hope this is a worthy arrangement of Bach's lovely, intense prelude for keyboard. It requires two sopranos and a mezzo-soprano or alto and is quite demanding both physically and musically. The simple repetition of the words "Dona Nobis Pacem" is intended to be a strong plea for peace, that is peace in any sense that one may wish for. My inspiration for it came as a result of the death of my baby daughter and in fact many of my creative musical endeavours have been around August, on the anniversary of her death.
