Karl Jenkins and his Mass for Peace

Description

There are two names for this unusual work by Karl Jenkins.  “The Armed Man Mass” and “The Mass for Peace”.  I investigate the background of this choral piece.

The different sections were drawn from diverse texts, including the Muslim call to prayer and the Hindu epic poem Mahàbhàratà. And I help you get to know a little bit about the Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, who is almost as famous for his mustache as for his music.

Join me in exploring the history and meaning of this modern masterpiece.
