Good Points

This is an astounding, brilliant, extremely moving piece of work. I am in awe of Karl Jenkins, his wonderful musicality, and transparent sincerity. Innovating is his use of non-christian elements in a "mass." I find these quite successful, and not detrimental to the mass's original intention.

General Comments

I know classical music very well, play the violin (was a student of Broadus Earl), have sung as a young person in many choirs, and have attended hundreds of concerts ranging from the BSO to the Concertgebouworkest. I predict that Jenkins will be called one of the greatest composers of the 21rst century.
