Karl Jenkins - The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace CD in Slipcase, Virgin 2001

Description: Karl Jenkins - The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace Venture/Virgin Records Ltd., 2001. "The Armed Man is a Mass by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, subtitled 'A Mass for Peace'. Like Benjamin Britten's War Requiem before it, it is essentially an anti-war piece and is based on the Catholic Mass, which Jenkins combines with other sources, principally the 15th-century folk song 'L'homme armé' in the first and last movements. It also incorporates text from other religious and historical sources, including the Islamic call to prayer, the Bible and the Mahabharata. The Armed Man charts the growing menace of a descent into war, interspersed with moments of reflection; shows the horrors that war brings; and ends with the hope for peace in a new millennium."
