Dona nobis pacem and Lux aeterna were both written for concert programs devoted to specific themes. They share the use of the techniques of minimalism in their organ parts, enabling the broad vocal lines in the choral voices to stretch out above this instrument, thus imparting a special aspect to the concerns addressed by the texts: the longing for freedom in the here and now, as expressed in the Dona nobis pacem, as well as the desire for peace and tranquillity in the Lux aeterna.

Matsushita's setting of a hymn for Pentecost is a dialog between women's choir and piano: while the choir develops its melodies from the Gregorian hymn, the piano provides a counterpoint with the minimalistic sounds of fourth and fifths, together with short independent motives related to the text of the hymn. Corresponding to the chorale, the meter changes continually, as if floating. The choir is treated homophonically throughout and, in preparation for the climax of the piece it is briefly divided into six parts at the words pacemque dones protinus (true peace bring unto us). One again Matsushita proves himself a master of economy in his use of compositional means; thus his works of new church music are appealing, effective, and they express humility.

Drawing from the Sami culture, a Nordic society dating from the 2nd century, here is a truly multicultural anthem. With a strong influence from the Sami “Yoik” tradition along with Norse elements and contemporary Western musical norms, this beautiful setting of the Latin text “Kyrie” is an amazing new setting of this traditional text. There is a lovely section for a soloist or small group with a clear line but with space for improvisation as well.

The aged Simeon takes the new-born Jesus in his arms, recognises his significance and celebrates this moment in a paean of praise as the fulfilment of his life. In Matsushita's motet this song of praise, the nunc dimittis, stands at the centre of the composition. Here, the triad of C-F sharp-G, used for the word hodie - today at the beginning, symbolically combines with a Gregorian-like motif, revolving around the central note of B flat in whole-tone movement, and which is used to represent the Virgin Mary. The work ends with a mystical wash of sound, a whole-tone cluster which emerges from the aleatorically repeated basic motifs of the work, and fades away to nothing.

With poetry by e.e. cummings, the text is a tender plea of a lover asking for acceptance of the gift of love with all its mysteries, fantasies, dreams and yearnings. The music reflects these offerings in a lilting waltz-like tempo that floats toward its conclusion with hints of promised fulfillment, expansiveness and peace. Duration: ca. 2:00.
