The relationship between music making& worship of God or Deities is perhaps as old as prostitution & militarism. The worship aspect is often connected with giving thanks to God for victory in battle A requiem is often set in the context of war as a prayer for dead souls. Many civilisations have developed a narrative for expressing a particularly universal view of God as a kind of benevolent overseer of human bloodshed who helps one side win & gives succour to the defeated which Jesus disputes.
@xenon1919 doesn't the complexity of life puzzle you that people say that it could have made itself that way? Don't you see that everything is meaningless without god because without him everything is done for the glory of yourself
@xenon1919 to make that proclamation is to assume you yourself are correct and therefore a hypocrite, the argument dosen't work philosophically it's like the analogy that there's an elephant and different religions hold to different parts of the elephant but it really makes something bigger, this however is an assumption
I don't believe this song was written by Dufay although he frequently gets the credit for it. Many sources say this was a popular song before Dufay used it.
Strefanasha seems missed a point of the mass - to foster peace among all peoples. She/he suggests a christocentric attitude which has caused much grief over the history of christendom.
@kdwilliams59 if you look at christ's teachings and doctrine it was not a christocentric view that caused the grief you speak of, but a rejection of this by a church that defied christ's teaching as it thought too highly of itself.
music civilizes? this is utter nonsense. After all Reinhold Heydrich the Nazi Jew Killer was a passionate violinist, son of a minor composer, and civilized he was not,. a man of peace he was not.
@Strefanasha I'm surprised and saddened by you intolerance of other religions. If there is a God, I think he loves what is good and beautiful, not merely one people or one faith.
@xenon1919 not intolerance. disagreement. there is a difference. the religions all have insurmoutable logical differences. they can't ALL be true, and if no god exists at all then musical efforts like this are a waste of time. they certainly will not foster peace. such thinking is naive in the extreme. But if God exists he has made manifest which way is right. to try to reach all gods is still to reach none
@Strefanasha Why would music be a waste of time if no God exists? It is beautiful. Isn't that enough reason? Conversely, why would music be any more meaningful if God DID exist? Because he would he it and maybe like it? If he is omnipotent he has heard all sounds already, heard all our thoughts, knows what choices we will make in the future, etc. There is only biological life. Glorious, complex, life.
Excellent arrangement! Thank you for the vid! Am I missing something... The ending seems cut-off on this... is there another vid recording of this piece with the ending included?
Jenkin's Mass for Peace is a fine piece of music. And that from a composer who was once member of Soft Machine. Their 3rd album is great, too, but that was before Jenkins joined. Anyway, l'Homme Armé is great, and the Benedictus even more so. War is hell.
I played this on percussion recently. It was really difficult not to get lost and you need about 7 percussionists to cover all the parts. We had 5.......
I'm playing it again on Saturday (same choir, different orchestra) I just hope I get the same part.
"Thank goodness somebody's calling this for what it is--what a crime that this passes for great music today. Political posturing masquerading as high art and making a mockery of the traditional Christian mass while at it. Dreadful."
@maryevelyn2010 What utter garbage you spout. This piece, along with the others in the collection, are about the attitudes and perspectives of war - if you'd actually think and properly listen to each and every piece, you'd be able to understand what Mr Jenkins is saying.
It is thought provoking music, that is designed to tell a story, not "political posturing" and it is certainly not mocking Christian mass.
I wish ignorant people like you would actually think before posting such rubbish.
putrid evil trash. what a sick moron this jenkins is. i have now heard enough youtubes on this psychopath. the very worst was the dies irae. SHAME ON THE WELSH OPERA AND ANYONE WHO SPREADS THIS VIRAL PUSS.
@goodguysdoll Absolutely right, goodguysdoll. The world is now full of these jenkins types - masquerading as composers. Beethoven was a composer. This man is not. There is absolutely not a shred of originality in this 'music.' It could have been written by any number of masqueraders over the last century. And DAMN those that participate in it - they only advance the fraud further.
@organman52 Thank goodness somebody's calling this for what it is--what a crime that passes for great music today. It is nothing but jingoistic political posturing masquerading as high art and making a mockery of the traditional Christian mass while at it. Dreadful, silly and ridiculous. Any greater witness needed to the decadence of Western culture?
@organman52 O Hallelujah. Let more of us voices speak from the wilderness. Let me add, it's trash. I'd bet that every musician of the Renaissance who ever used this song for a parody Mass did a better job even though it's not possible to hear them all! It sounds like a sound-track from a bad science fiction movie whose producers chose the wrong composer !
@alipitogen then why don't you compose your own Renaissance Mass piece and then have it evaluated by others who are well known in that area of music with many years of expierence and see what they say about it.
@sintofg I am currently writing a Mass setting. It is not in any Renaissance style even though I like to weave my voices around a bit. It is, by my own estimation, languishing miserably below the standard of probably all Renaissance composers ever heard of, but , according to that same faculty of self criticism, if I did not consider it superior to the standard of KJ I would humbly call it a day. I lack the fame, the resources and, most crucially, the hard neck required for self promotion.
@goodguysdoll @ you sound so bitter, unfortunately for the likes of you, your bile only helps to take Jenkins further up in his pedestal, like so many others great innovators, artists etc, they had to endure the negativity, opposition and bad critics from people like you . Good news is, " Self-actualized people are independent of the good opinion of others" ( Doc. Wayne Dyer) .THANKS!!!!
I'm singing this in the DuPage Chorale at College of DuPage, Glen Ellyn, IL this May...incidentally, Karl Jenkins looks a bit like my conductor, with a similar mustache, but longer hair. But it is a fascinating piece, even though a few of the movements are a bit depressing.
I was just listen it tonight at Bellapais North Cyprus at the great athmosfer of abbey and the music mesage and the all esential things were great for us as a listeners..I was really breathless...
yesterday night i had the luck to sit for this performance, which was performed the Saint Monica choir here in Malta. it was absolutely wonderful, the performance was nothing short of perfection and the videos being showed on the screen help you the get into the atmosphere. WELL DONE
if you are lucky and manage to find this wonderful piece of art being performed close to you GO! because it will be worth every penny!
I saw this performed at the royal albert hall on 13 july,with the really big chorus. It's a stunning piece of music and just as good without the visuals.
oooo im playing all of the armed man suite this saturday! its gonna be soo amzing. the orchestrra sounds amazing!! does anyone have benedictus with a cello playing? at least i think its that peice. anyway,it all sounds amazing
you mean the black and white vid in the background? I hope thats what you mean, because the performance was Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, September 11 2006, 7:30 pm.... your move.
Actually it wasn't Glasgow but St David's Hall Cardiff. This video was made by Opus Television for S4C (the Welsh channel) and recorded in January 2004, and subsequently released for sale on DVD by EMI.
i performed it 3 times... once with an amazing brass band for the national quaker school mass choir which only happens once every 3 years... it woz awsome. another time i did the alto solo's...omg!!! i actually think i'm not worthy though... the other time woz just helping another choir out...
Having performed the Armed Man twice, once at Chartwell on the 60th anniversary of D-Day, I can attest for just how challenging this work is. Needless to say this performance sets ours to shame. I sing tenor.
Great to see this! We will be performing this piece on May 4 2007, the Dutch Memorial Day for war victims, in Utrecht, the Netherlands. BTW, we are still looking for non-Dutch singers to join us :-)

Actually it wasn't Glasgow but St David's Hall Cardiff. This video was made by Opus Television for S4C (the Welsh channel) and recorded in January 2004, and subsequently released for sale on DVD by EMI.

Having performed the Armed Man twice, once at Chartwell on the 60th anniversary of D-Day, I can attest for just how challenging this work is. Needless to say this performance sets ours to shame. I sing tenor.

We performed this piece yesterday... We had a ballet group who performed while we were singing, which was very dramatic.
I had goosebumps singing it, it's just so amazing...so beautiful and touching. Thank you for uploading it!!

Great to see this! We will be performing this piece on May 4 2007, the Dutch Memorial Day for war victims, in Utrecht, the Netherlands. BTW, we are still looking for non-Dutch singers to join us :-)
