Work introduction
Lux pacis (Preghiera per la pace/Prayer for Peace) is a Schiavo's short choral work written as a reaction to any war and abuse. "It is a work about peace in the world and inner peace, which is I think the necessary condition for the first one" Schiavo says. He continues "This work uses simple choral writing because peace should be sung by everyone". In a second time the composer created the diptych Lumen in which Lux pacis is the first of the two pieces.
