 cliffjudith's recommendation | |
This is a very moving piece that takes the listener through the horrors of war to triumphal peace. Anyone who feels for anyone involved in Iraq and all other wars should listen to this before supporting war rather than after at the cenotaphs.
As with many choral pieces, the diction is often hard to follow but the passion is very evident throughout.
Karl Jenkins, Jenkins: The Armed Man - A Mass For Peace - This starts with men marching to war and after the pre-battle rituals the horror of burning men is depicted in the battles and peace triumphantly follows.
This piece should be played more often, I would certainly go to a performance. A truly modern classic.
