Complete Vocal Score-A powerful and compelling account of the descent into and consquences of war commissioned by the British Armouries and dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo conflict. Using the basis of a Christian Mass (Requiem) Karl Jenkins has set both secular and sacred texts inspired and guided by the 15th-century French song L'Homme Arme to create a major and unsettling choral work that raises questions and provokes poignant reflection. This full vocal score features a Piano reduction for rehearsals.

Karl Jenkins 'Benedictus', l'avant-dernier mouvement de 'The Armed Man: une messe pour la paix', est maintenant fermement établie comme un classique dans son propre droit. Dans les mots de Guy Wilson, ancien maître de manège de commissaire et du travail de parent, 'même les survivants peuvent être blessés à la destruction par la guerre. Le Benedictus guérit les blessures dans son affirmation lent et majestueux de la foi '.Cette nouvelle publication fait le Benedictus disponible pour des performances comme un travail séparé, avec accompagnement de piano. Le score comprend la partie introductive emblématique violoncelle solo sur sa propre page, bien que la performance avec le violoncelle est facultative. L'édition est compatible avec celle de l'Armed Man partition vocale complète et donc avec les notations de l'oeuvre pour orchestre, ensemble, fanfare et orchestre d'harmonie. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Par JENKINS KARL. One World deals with a fractured world (populist governments, plagues, climate change, human trafficking, disrespect for basic human rights, terrorism, war) and heralds a vision of a peaceful and egalitarian planet. The work is best encapsulated by one of the texts set: ‘Tikkun Olam’, Hebrew for ‘repair the world’, a Jewish concept of stewardship over God’s creation. Scored for soloists, chorus and orchestra in Jenkins’s inimitable style familiar from such works as Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary, The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, Requiem and The Peacemakers. His vision for One World takes inspiration from diverse texts including the Bible, the Hindu Gayatri Mantra, the poetry of the English Romantic Percy Bysshe Shelley, African-American abolitionist Frances Harper (c1850) and Lebanese-American writer Kahlil Gibran. As in many of Jenkins’s works, Carol Barratt contributes impactful text and adaptations. Recorded on Decca by Lucy Crowe soprano, Kathryn Rudge mezzo-soprano, Roderick Williams baritone, the World Choir for Peace, The Stay At Home Choir and the World Orchestra for Peace, conducted by Karl Jenkins. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / SMezBar, Choir et Orchestre

In recent years Karl Jenkins has become one of the world's best-selling living composers. He continues to conduct his epic Adiemus Live Concerts with distinguished orchestras including the London Philharmonic featuring in Festivals and concerts in Britain and abroad; and his moving choral work The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace is now firmly lodged as a concert favourite. This new work builds on the style which the British public have come to know and adore. Jenkins has set the usual Latin movements of the requiem mass but in keeping with his usual trait of drawing from other cultures he has also set five Japanese haiku ‘death’ poems. Such poems are usually to dowith nature have a single idea and consist of seventeen syllables divided 5-7-5 over three lines. As one can see from the text the Japanese view nature’s water cycle (precipitation) as being synonymous with life. The Western and Eastern texts are combined in two of the haiku movements Having Seen The Moon and Farewell which incorporate the Benedictus and the Agnus Dei respectively. Both are intoned by male voices in a monastic style as a counterpoint to the Japanese text sung by females. The instrumentation of these haiku settings includes the ancient Japanese wind instrument the shakuhachi. Elsewhere as usual Jenkins has used some ethnic drums (e.g. Arabic darabuca Japanese daiko frame drums) and even a hip-hop rhythm in the Dies Irae!
