If anyone knows 'O Fortuna' from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana here Jenkins uses a similar style to create such marvellous tension. Some may thing the music simple and naive - but remember that the 'Ode to Joy' from Beethoven's 9th (renowned along with the Bach B minor mass as probably the greatest choral work ever) uses just 6 notes. The sheer genius of Jenkins is his ability to create this wonderful sound despite its naivety. It makes me proud to be Welsh myself.
Did this music appear in the movie 1492? Im so almost sure. Vangelis did the whole soundtrack but this music reminds me of a Christopher Colombus movie. If is not that one it has to be the one of the 80's.
@AndycKV Have you ever analyzed a piece by Mozart? His composition techniques are amazing! The harmonic acrobaties he performs in his music are incredible . I can of course agree that not all his music is amazing, I mean I don't really care for his first symphony.
What I get from this piece is the actual futility of conflict and the inevitability of sorrow and pain on a global level. I understand that the basic concept evolves from French marching songs in the 15th century, which goes to show that we will never learn from our mistakes. A very stirring piece of work.
I think it's great music. Mozart may have good music, but it feels just boring compared to this.
To all those concerned: How can you discuss about religion on this video? Religion is not that important, it's just a construct to make people think everything is controlled by a supernatural being. I'm sorry to inform you, that this is an old model of the world's functionality. Anybody, who wants to believe in any religion is free to do so, but don't press others to think the same way. Thank you.
@arykk You're right with the comparison to pop music. Also, he stealed a lot from other composers. Nevertheless, I prefer listening to the armed man, despite the fact, that Mozart is seen as a legend in classical music. But it seems all so flat and without emotion, not to mention without meaning. passé
Mozart is one of the most overrated composers of all time. He wrote music for a small group of wealthy aristocratic aesthetes and since then his music has been risen on a pedestal to ridiculous proportions. His music is blown away by music both before and after.
@a7fsoad2 Music is something we have involuntary emotional responses to - we either like a piece, or not. Whether to some it's 'a pathetic excuse for classical music' is irrelevant. If we find it beautiful, then it is. I don't think it's possible for music to be overrated - that's usually what people say when they happen to not like something that a lot of other people do, usually to make themselves look superior ;)
Beautiful music indeed. I would have thought it was fairly obvious that the music is juxtapositioned next to the images of war purposely, to highlight the futility of war, and to question the existence and/or morality of a God who can allow these things to happen. In which case, the words are very relevant, and they're used in a morbidly sarcastic way against the images: 'Glorious? In the face of such attrocities? Are you kidding?' sort of thing!
@vindaloo1977 I think you're reading into it way too much. I think the music alongside those pictures of war is just so bloody pointless, especially with the words from the Sanctus. I don't mind Karl Jenkins but I think his music is so overrated and people trying to read into it and say it's 'juxtaposing this and that' is such a load of rubbish. His music may be diverse in it's influences and have moments of magic but in the most part it's just a pathetic excuse for classical music.
@sartanko Heard the Rite of Spring by Stravinsky? You ain't heard nothing mate! Try a bit of Shostakovich too, final movement of the 5th Symphony maybe.
Inappropriate music. The words are words of praise, not war. Loathe it. Ah well. Opinions are worthless, I suppose. Rossini also didn't think it necessary to match words to music.
ALLE MUSIK IST EIGENTLICH INNERE MUSIK UND MUSS WIEDER ZU INNERER MUSIK WERDEN. (Gerhard Hauptmann)
Wir sollten uns alle für den FRIEDEN erheben, ... aufstehen für die Wahrheit, GEGEN Gewalt, damit das endlich AUFHÖRT, das Blutvergießen, wir sind Menschen und keine Monster!
there is one fundermental falisy with all that is said regarding a "higher being" that is to be our guardian means that "they" should at least look out for the lowly ones that inhabit this world,and not rely on a fallible "christian society".You dont have to be christian to be good,nor good to be a god.
It's not fair to blame God for Adoph Hitler. If you want to blame someone, blame Darwin's followers and philosopher's who twisted evolution's survival of the fittess and the corrupt social philosophy that God is dead, so be as evil as you want, since you are the real master of the world. Or blame the weakness on the people around Hitler for not being able to stand up to him and say enough is enough killing is wrong. Or maybe, just blame Hilter's actions on Hitler himself. Why blame God?
@kipstrange I'd say that God only created good things and the evil things that do happen, happen because humans have perverted what God created to be good.
@coolface01 everything exists as part of a pair; right and wrong, man and woman, good and evil, left and right, you get the idea. One things can not exist without the other.
@SCCatmull not true. of course they can exist without each other. if their was no such thing as evil for example its true we wouldnt think of good in the same way, it would become the normality, but that does not mean it wouldnt exist
Or, more than likely - we evolved to do whatever the hell we please. Which occasionally involves ridiculous tribal behavior. Why bring a mythical supposed omnipotent deity into the equation?
@LoneMonk1 When everyone says that God created everything, that he is powerful, omniscient etc. etc. then why wouldn't we blame it on him? If people don't want others to blame God for these things then why don't just abandon their god-fearing fundamentalism and get a grip?
I'm sorry but this..... BELONGS in a game. Most likely an opening or ending into/outro scene. It would just be... amazing and... epic. I love the sound of this, definitely like the march beat as well. It's an amazing piece, and this is the reason I have great respect for all of the conductors and "Choir Gweebs" or "Band Geeks" as some like to call them :/ To me they're amazing people... hell I was even in choir too, but after me and a couple other guys left it went to poo
I love Karl Jenkins music but only discovered this one this morning, never heard it before. and its very evocative, Translate the Latin for me please Kevin!!
A Mass is always a hymn of peace and love. Not war. The images of war are an idiot and intentional perversion of this principle. I'm sick of this Western culture that is ashamed of its Christian roots and which identifies the war and violence. It is absurd and offensive to show that Hitler and the Nazis were atheists ASSUMED associating Nazism mass. Mass glorifies Jesus Christ our Lord, Love and Peace is men who make war among themselves. Not God.
@1863X Let me give you the context of this piece. This is part of a work called The Armed Man, which is an anti war mass (haz the latin text with some other mov written as well). It's split into 2 parts. The 1st glorifies war (this section) which leads to the climax - the piece 'Charge!' after that movement, it shows the true horrors of war (as you have said) reaching the final climax which is 'Better is Peace.' If you only came across this video, I suggest watch/listening to the entire work.
@Joshlama Totall agree with you. You have to see the whole thing to get the entire meaning and why not watching the whole work, it is great. It is a master piece of Karl Jenkins.
I bought this album after hearing the track 'Benedictus'. It doesn't matter how many times I listen it moves me to tears.... So powerfully does it tell the story of war!
Prachtige uitvoering ..groots wie wil hier niet bij zijn ? Wat zullen ze straks moeten beknibbelen als er gekort gaat worden op cultuur ....Geen groots werk meer in de concertzalen.
Karl Jenkins is a very talented artist, as represented by his works. How some people interpret the context of the images displayed in the above video is just that...their interpretation. Art is, after all, subjective. And just for the record, if Israel deserves to have a nation in the Middle East, then America should give their lands back to the Native Americans. They were there first. I mean, seriously, the Holocaust didn't happen in Palestine. It happened in Europe. Move Israel to Germany.
on what purpose those images were put? saddam was a bad man and us invaded ıraq for bringing democracy?israel has a right to take the country from its own dwellers and to resist against this cruelty only makes u one of those bad men..hypcrisies of the west is making me sick..
@CinnAlla ..when and where did u say huh?im not used to this youtube comment thing..i didnt even remember that i wrote a comment here till i saw ur post in my mail box..
I am upset by this scamm attempt , behind thje music , in those mixed up images = Hitler , Mussolini , Molotov( I think) and ....and Saddam Hussein !!!!!! Why , please explain the dirty link ? The only nuke bomb launched on mankind , the huge scamm of 11 sept ,30 Y of Viet Nam slaughter , 72 years of death camps in Russia , Gaza assassination=those are the continued WWII crimes ! Saddam was just assassinated by the same killers ! Please , don't put mass murders history upside down !!!!!
actually Paul McCartney wrote this- its from one of his classical albums probably Ecce Cor Meum or Standing Stone. Karl just wrote the notation and conducts for him.
Thanks so much for posting the words !! I have been looking all over the net for the lyrics and couldnt find them !! Do you have the vocal score for this one ?
@inferidamus Thanks for posting the meaning of the words. I heard this today on the radio and was immediately like what was that??? It's very powerful sounding.
lindissima orquestra ...imagens fortes , tudo isto que se relata e a infeliz realidade do homem na terra face a ditadores , ganancia de poder, interesses e injusticas...
Could I point out that the reason this melody has war scenes in its backdrop is because it is part of The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace. Hence the marching beat in the background. This requiem is a work mourning the part that war has taken in our lives.
@OphidiaSnaketongue Just a little correction, it isn't a Requiem, just an typical Catholic Mass arranged in a way that only Karl Jenkins could do. Completely agreed with the rest though!
Being an atheist with a natural world view I have the luxury of listing to this song for what it is, a beautiful collection of notes played in a particular order. I would like to point out religion is the catalyst to the majority of wars depicted in the images shown. Without these pathetic ghost stories we could all listen to the song for what it is. Wars would still happen, but for the right reasons like power and territory, which obey the savage laws of selection.
I think it's more about the fact that people use such things about victory and war correlating it with religion, praising god and what not, looking into some hymns there is the context where some hymns are geared towards warfare at an ambiguous level. Also the fact that at the time praising what is seen as honorable and then looking back seeing that it actually wasn't so honorable under other contexts. Or sumthing of that nature.
Only by appreciating the power and enormity of evil and war can we appreciate the enormity of the love and forgiveness of God which gives us hope to try time and time again to overcome tyranny and evil. I don't think the images are inappropriate at all. The struggle continues every day and it is only by glorifying God whilst these things are happening that we can hold onto the good.
@ES183 - Right with you there, 183. The images with this song are so mismatched that it's... disturbing. Makes me wonder if this is a statement against war, or a statement against God... or did someone just not really THINK when putting this performance together? That's hard for me to conceive, since all the musicians I know are in a state of total, complete awareness of what they play and perform - music and lyrics.
The first time I heard this song I felt sorry for anyone playing or singing the bass note. Just stuck playing the root for D minor for a good chunk of the song.
But I really like this video, its really powerful and is almost radiating with irony. The choir is singing that heaven and earth are full of gods glory and the images depict otherwise, like we are tainting creation. No matter what you believe, the violence and utter disregard for human life that we are capable of needs to be addressed.
Chilling. Which is what Jenkins intended. It's a statement about nations that go to war claiming that god is on their side. It makes much more sense in the context of the whole performance.
Seems to be a lot off conflict between the people who are writing their comments in response to the video images.Doesn't conflict emerge between parties when they initially don't agree with each other?
Love this song, pretty much the easiest bass line to sing out of our choir's repertoire.

I am upset by this scamm attempt , behind thje music , in those mixed up images = Hitler , Mussolini , Molotov( I think) and ....and Saddam Hussein !!!!!! Why , please explain the dirty link ? The only nuke bomb launched on mankind , the huge scamm of 11 sept ,30 Y of Viet Nam slaughter , 72 years of death camps in Russia , Gaza assassination=those are the continued WWII crimes ! Saddam was just assassinated by the same killers ! Please , don't put mass murders history upside down !!!!!

actually Paul McCartney wrote this- its from one of his classical albums probably Ecce Cor Meum or Standing Stone. Karl just wrote the notation and conducts for him.

Could I point out that the reason this melody has war scenes in its backdrop is because it is part of The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace. Hence the marching beat in the background. This requiem is a work mourning the part that war has taken in our lives.

@OphidiaSnaketongue Just a little correction, it isn't a Requiem, just an typical Catholic Mass arranged in a way that only Karl Jenkins could do. Completely agreed with the rest though!

Questioning the whole notion of religion when these fascist regimes

Being an atheist with a natural world view I have the luxury of listing to this song for what it is, a beautiful collection of notes played in a particular order. I would like to point out religion is the catalyst to the majority of wars depicted in the images shown. Without these pathetic ghost stories we could all listen to the song for what it is. Wars would still happen, but for the right reasons like power and territory, which obey the savage laws of selection.

I think it's more about the fact that people use such things about victory and war correlating it with religion, praising god and what not, looking into some hymns there is the context where some hymns are geared towards warfare at an ambiguous level. Also the fact that at the time praising what is seen as honorable and then looking back seeing that it actually wasn't so honorable under other contexts. Or sumthing of that nature.

Only by appreciating the power and enormity of evil and war can we appreciate the enormity of the love and forgiveness of God which gives us hope to try time and time again to overcome tyranny and evil. I don't think the images are inappropriate at all. The struggle continues every day and it is only by glorifying God whilst these things are happening that we can hold onto the good.

@ES183 - Right with you there, 183. The images with this song are so mismatched that it's... disturbing. Makes me wonder if this is a statement against war, or a statement against God... or did someone just not really THINK when putting this performance together? That's hard for me to conceive, since all the musicians I know are in a state of total, complete awareness of what they play and perform - music and lyrics.

The first time I heard this song I felt sorry for anyone playing or singing the bass note. Just stuck playing the root for D minor for a good chunk of the song.
But I really like this video, its really powerful and is almost radiating with irony. The choir is singing that heaven and earth are full of gods glory and the images depict otherwise, like we are tainting creation. No matter what you believe, the violence and utter disregard for human life that we are capable of needs to be addressed.

Chilling. Which is what Jenkins intended. It's a statement about nations that go to war claiming that god is on their side. It makes much more sense in the context of the whole performance.

I'm not really convinced that the music appropriately fits the text. As a whole, this sounds more like a Dies Irae than a Sanctus, in my opinion.
