Born from music composed during the Thirty Years War, Da Pacem intersperses the noble polyphony of psalm-settings by Schütz and his contemporaries, laments and jubilations, and songs describing everyday life in the midst of battle, with natural sounds and audio fragments from locations associated with more recent wars. The resulting mix of and innovative soundscapes and dialogues, mixing live music with electronics, is a powerful prompt to the listener to contemplate the senselessness of war.

The work of Katherina Lindekens and Inne Eysermans is supported by a grant from EFFEA, an initiative of the European Festivals Association.
