Jenkins Karl - The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace - Mixed Choir And Piano

Welsh composer Karl Jenkins dedicated his landmark mass The Armed Man to the victims of the 1998-1999 war in Kosovo. More recently it is been associated with remembrances of 9/11.The French Renaissance song “L'homme armé” serves as the basis for the first movement of the mass beautifully adapted here for standard concert band instrumentation. With its relentless pulse and haunting strains this is a dramatically emotional and riveting work!

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

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!
