This concert, filmed by BBC Television, celebrated the launch of the premiere recording of African Sanctus with Dona Nobis Pacem. The composer, David Fanshawe, notes: My setting of 'Dona nobis pacem' completes the text of the 'Agnus Dei' heard in African Sanctus. It is written as a gesture of thanksto the world I have been privileged to see and experience in my time. T his work, a paean for today, expresses my innermost feelings that reach out far beyond Africa, to a limitless horizon of hope for the future andlove for the world.
