Dona Nobis Pacem on Boomwhackers
Dona Nobis Pacem is a color-coded Boomwhacker play-along on bimbadi: the notes fly toward your class in their tube colors on the smartboard or projector, with the Latin lyrics on screen. All you need is the 8-note diatonic set from C to high C. Low B is a tube with an octave cap. A three-part round on the Latin words for “grant us peace”. This play-along is a bonus that comes with the colored sheet music on eduki; the code inside unlocks it.
The player’s menus are in German for now. Press ▶ and play: “Tempo” is the speed slider, “Tonart” means key.

Classroom idea
Talk briefly about what peace means to your students, then play the round calmly and evenly in three groups. The low B with an octave cap stays with one student the whole time. In F major, as on the sheet music, you need the B♭ tube instead.
Colored sheet music and bonus code
The colored sheet music for “Dona Nobis Pacem” is available on eduki, a teaching-materials marketplace (German edition). Inside you will find a bonus code that unlocks this play-along. Enter it on the song list or right in the player; your browser remembers it.
