Subject: Origins: Dona Nobis Pacem (round)
Does anyone know where, when, and by whom this round was composed? The Hymnal 1982 Companion (vol. IIIB, p. 1326 [no. 712]) says:
Music: The origin of the music for the round DONA NOBIS PACEM is not known. In most collections it is simply labeled "traditional." Estimates of its date range from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Its musical style, however, would seem to indicate an origin no earlier than the eighteenth or nineteenth century.
