Who does not know this beautiful yet simple canon! Lord, grant us peace – a simple appeal that, particularly at Christmas time, gains a special urgency. An indefatigable ostinato traverses the entire piece. The clusters built up over this ostinato, together with the entering tenor (solo part), becomes an urgent plea that ultimately merges into the already optimistic sounding canon. At the end clusters resound once again, but this time in a major key and full of faith. A very impressive arrangement that is easily learned!
