Original video of a song by Mozart "Dona Nobis Pacem"

in video •  6 years ago 

I learned, and fell in love with this "vocal exercise" in high school
when I played piano for the High School Chorus. I loved the simple harmonies.
Some years ago, on a visit to Fayetteville NC, to visit my friend from the
Air Force, one Anastacio (Chito) Giacoman, I taught him (and his squeeze at the time),
all three parts, and we traded off singing and swapping parts.

It was only last year, that I discovered it was written by
none other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Chito asked me if I remembered it, and of course I did,
so I created this instrumental, with the three vocal parts played
instrumentally, then as an afterthought,
I sang all three parts, in my best 'asthmatic voice',
so here for your enjoyment:
"Dona Nobis Pacem"
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
