What is it about 'Benedictus' that reduces me to tears every time I hear it? It is quite simply one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. It doesn't matter that I've a degree in music production or that anyone else on this site has any sort of qualifications of any kind. Any human ear can hear the sweeping beauty of this piece. The only other piece written that can touch Benedictus is Canteloube's 'Bailero', the open air performance by Joanne Wilson-Smith. I've played this a thousand times and still the tears come. Those who love 'Benedictus' should also embrace 'Bailero'.

Jenkins: The Armed Man - A Mass For Peace is the most perfect piece of music i've ever heard, benedictus. I heard it on national public radio, and was so moved i had to buy it. It moved me to tears the first three or four times i listen to it, and still gives me chills. Bravo. Fantastic job Mr. Jenkins, it was amazing

written by Kim Batteau on 27/01/2008
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.

The sound brings me in another time in the past, every music give me the sensation of war or peace, everything is so accurate, even the choice of a track sung in Arabic language, meaning of multi-religion language, absolutely astonishing.If you love music and especially sacred music, buy it. It's worth all the money.

written by Johntenor on 05/12/2006
I was priveleged to be able to take part in a recent performance as a choir member. This is the most moving work I have ever sung. The work has stirring, dramatic movements and some poignant, beautiful melodies. I really had to take a grip on myself in the performance to be able to sing the last movement. Even hearing an excerpt from the cello solo as background to a short wildlife documentary on TV made the tears well up.

Karl Jenkins, Jenkins: The Armed Man - A Mass For Peace is an amazing piece of music. I first heard it in Exeter Cathedral on Thursday November 11th 2004, and I was staggered by the effect it generated on the audience, including the young members of the audience.

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.

Masonda's Response to Johntenor's Review
Written on: 14/03/2007
We have just started this work in our choir, and I'm really enjoying it. It's stirring, moody and misty qualities enhance the dramatic qualities of each section, and evoke sensitive emotions. Our choir are looking forward to performing this work in Jersey later this year !
