A mass for peace- about time!
Review of Armed Man (A Mass For Peace), The - Karl Jenkins by armychick

Advantages: A good, basic classical piece to have in the repertoire!
Disadvantages: Some tracks very technical, not easy listening

...in a nutshell- dinner music! The Armed Man is a little more deep and was commissioned for the British Royal Armouries' Annivesary, so the them of this album and the music plots the progress of war, not necessarily a modern war. The National Youth Choirs do an awesome job, tackling some very difficult vocal arrangements accompanied by The London Philharmonic Orchestra in their usual excellence. The Suite Jenkins uses the poerty of Tennyson, ... Read review

"THE ARMED MAN MUST BE FEARED"
Review of Armed Man (A Mass For Peace), The - Karl Jenkins by Jaxle

Advantages: An excellent piece of very original music
Disadvantages: Some parts let the work down a little

Quick review of Armed Man (A Mass For Peace), The - Karl Jenkins
Review of Armed Man (A Mass For Peace), The - Karl Jenkins by c3por2d2

I bought this album on the strength of one hearing of Benedictus on Classic FM. I was not disappointed it is an amazingly powerful piece of work. Incredible mixture of styles and techniques with Benedictus the most mind blowing. The transition from music to lyrics with the most amazing crescendo is simply breathtaking. If I need some rest from the stresses and strains of life this is the first piece of music I reach for. Not one track of this work disappointed me. I was even surprised and delighted by the insertion of a Muslim call to prayer in a traditionally Christian musical theme. Without doubt Jenkins proves his genius in this work.
