Karl Jenkins - Jenkins: Armed Man a Mass for Peace

2005 release. Dr. Karl Jenkins OBE B. Mus FRAM, educated at Gowerton Grammar School, Cardiff University and the Royal Academy of Music, London, is one of the most prolific and performed composers in the world today. The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace alone has been performed nearly four hundred times in recent years while his recorded output has attained seventeen gold or platinum disc awards. Jenkins has said that the Armed Man was inspired by the "L'Homme armé" masses that were popular in the 16th century, and he makes this debt clear with passages written in a neat pastiche of Palestrina-style renaissance polyphony.
