One World traite d'un monde fracturé (gouvernements populistes, fléaux, changement climatique, traite des êtres humains, non-respect des droits humains fondamentaux, terrorisme, guerre) et annonce la vision d'une planète pacifique et égalitaire. L'un des textes de l'exposition résume le mieux l'oeuvre : Tikkun Olam », qui signifie en hébreu ?réparer le monde?, un concept juif de gestion de la création divine. L'oeuvre est écrite pour solistes, choeur et orchestre dans le style inimitable de Jenkins, bien connu pour des oeuvres telles que Adiemus : Songs of Sanctuary, The Armed Man : A Mass for Peace, Requiem et The Peacemakers. Sa vision d'un monde unique s'inspire de textes divers tels que la Bible, le Gayatri Mantra hindou, la poésie du romantique anglais Percy Bysshe Shelley, l'abolitionniste afro-américaine Frances Harper (vers 1850) et l'écrivain libano-américain Kahlil Gibran. Comme dans de nombreuses oeuvres de Jenkins, Carol Barratt apporte des textes et des adaptations percutants. Enregistré sur Decca par Lucy Crowe soprano, Kathryn Rudge mezzo-soprano, Roderick Williams baryton, le World Choir for Peace, The Stay At Home Choir et le World Orchestra for Peace, sous la direction de Karl Jenkins. / Piano / Boosey
