Amazing piece. I saw this live and loved it so much that I went to the same choir's second performance a day later. So many goosebumps moments! Especially how the opening, with the marching of the feet and the swelling of the music (here at 3:50). The beautiful and strangely modern "Sanctus". Also the call to prayer - unexpected when I first heard it. The musical versions of the poems describing the horrors of war. The hellish scream at 34:30 (much more impactful to hear in person)! Just a beautiful piece of art. Thanks for uploading this version.
This piece was written for The war in Kosovo, as a survivor of the atrocities that the Serbian government has caused to my compatriots, myself and my countrymen would like to thank you for this wonderfully written piece Mr. Jenkins.
+Bet1mi Yes, you're right. "The piece was commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum for the Millennium celebrations, to mark the museum's move from London to Leeds, and it was dedicated to victims of the Kosovo crisis" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Armed_Man)
I TOTALLY enjoyed listening and watching this video...it was TOTALLY brilliantly done, I just wish soo much that there had been a big screen up with what the whole piece was all about...but I just guessed from the Title...the line "Bring in The Thousand Years of Peace"....I say a HUGE AMEN to.....😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was a soloist in oldham, but the song about the nuclear bombs was too heartbreaking for me to sing without crying, deep meanings and it was an honour to have sung such a meaningful song
Очень красивые песни, некоторые из них я пел в хоре- это так красиво. Хоть мне и 13 я обожаю классическую музыку. Спасибо Дженкинс, за столь чудесные песни.
It's called Choice. Always respect people Choice in a Democratic Society. We all have views that is what makes humans interesting you don't have to agree 👍 but listen & maybe you might learn something, this has always been the case but lately if people disagree wow nasty childish behaviour comes out it's got to stop its boring & tiresome. Enjoy the music 🎶 worry not of others it's music .
I was performing in a church in oldham late last year, but i couldnt cope singing the song about the nuclear bombs, so they got the rest of the choir to do it
En estos días de oscuridad, de guerras y de sinsentidos. Escuchar esto es un soplo de aire fresco y un recordatorio de que por mucho que quieran la élites, nunca podrán conquistar el alma humana!

@@mattyb859 In a way you're right. It's the rest of us who are transformed and eventually empowered to stand up against the troublemakers. Not this week, this month, this year or even this generation perhaps, but, in God's time.
Seems Karl Jenkins had this in mind, when composing it: "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains." Now, he succeeded with his object, but if I would be a bishop, I wouldn't allow it in my church.
White Eagle Well, no pretenses on my part. I don't think world peace is my concern. Honestly, I'd rather be insulted, if you had suggested that it IS my concern.
The big picture is that God is in Islam and Judaism and Christianity and none of us are without sin. We must come together in common faith, we have no choice.
I see this is a profound and deeply disturbing piece about war and it’s futile ugliness. A beautiful hymn to mankind - a powerful condemnation of our need to destruct.
I disagree with Jim Baw. It is a small extremist minority of the Muslim community that is causing so much trouble. The senior Imam in Sydney came to a concert of this work in Nowra earlier this year (my partner was in the choir). His speech was given an ovation by the audience who had enjoyed Karl Jenkins's work.
Is that why entire countries subscribe to the atrocities? It is Islam and its prophet that one must study. Peace will never be achieved by humanity.The Gospel did not come to change the world but prepare us for the next. Ironically "if" everyone believed and followed Christ, none of this would be. Compare the life of Mohamed with Christ. Show me justification in the New Testament for violence. May I point out that the old testament descriptions of violence are "narrative" describing God's command against the enemies of his people. They did not become Doctrine.. The Bible is several books written over 1500 years culminating on the Cross. The Quran was written by one man. Who is he? Who is Jesus Christ?
+Johnny Hahahahahaaaa, haaaa, haa ,hahahaaa. Your co.. Your (hahaahaaa). Your comme....(heeeheee..... harummm).. - Sorry, Your comments had me in such fits of laughter that I couldn't type straight. Except it's not funny, actually it's quite scary. It's just more of the standard old 'We are right & you are wrong' bullshit that has kept the slaughter going for centuries. And it will keep doing so until you lot grow up and get a hold on reality.
@@johnny2303 Have you not noticed that even devout and sincere believers are far from perfect and often fail to strive for peace? Even if we all became devout believers, we would not be entirely free from sin in our lives. But, peace will come in the end when the sky falls away and earth is rolled up like a garment.
@@georgehamilton3664 Please tell that to the "christians"in the states (you know the Scofield followers) that condemn all others, such as catholics because they consider them non christians.
Any attempt to draw attention to the solidarity of humans is praiseworthy. As an agnostic and former Protestant with strong links in my forebears , and having departed from secularism and reliance on ritualism I find that the lyrics and total presentation is geared for believers which unfortunately is a shrinking entity. The appeal to music afficianados is obvious; I can not see its appeal to the general public
You may want to check out the 2Cello’s version. The calming effect of Benedictus resonates with those who have lost loved ones and with those who simply need a good nights rest.
Are you asking "Why not a muezzin?", since it is the call to prayer. Probably there was a small Shiite congregation nearby in Göteborg whose imam does the call to prayer himself, and he volunteered.
I wonder if the questioner might actually be wondering why the adhaan is included at all. The work is a mass of hope for universal peace. Universal includes everybody. Notice that the adhaan is a call to prayer and not a call to war.
Sorry, but so many things are wrong with this. The choir is not balanced and there does not appear to be 'quality' in the separate parts. If you are after a sound straight off a battle field, I guess this is what you would get . Perhaps it is the placing of the mikes that is to blame, but you can't attribute every increasingly flat descending scale to that ….
Karl Jenkins was about the meaning and depth of this piece, this was not performed by his choir, and i respect your opinion, but on video their voices are portrayed deeper than they are
***** The mass had an objective: to condemn the war and the violence. Some people, self-called "homo sapiens", saw a Muslim calling to PRAYERS into a cathedral, and this is a casus belli. Objective accomplished.
The Muslim call to prayer is there because the mass was written on commission in memory of Sarajevo - where an ostensibly Christian (and openly fascist) government slaughtered the Muslim community in Europe.
Its a mass for peace!!! You can get beat and rhythm in a lot of other music; if you dont want to think about religion or peace this is probably not the best thing for you to listen to.
At the time of Kosovo there was some understandable sympathy for the Muslims. Since then we have been given a lesson in why that sympathy is now misplaced. To utter the words Allahu Akbar in a British environment is treason. My choir is performing a piece of this without the Allahu Akbar. I have told the conductor I shall make a scene if she allowes it to be said.
The call of Antichrist in a church and in a mass! Allah is greater, is the call! Greater than Jesus? Jesus is God, the Islam denies this. And the Koran says, every person, which beleive, Jesus is God, comes to hell, this believe is the sin, Allah never forgive! And than this call against Jesus is made in so many churches through this mass.
What an amazing concert, love the music of Karl jenkins
Benedictus gets me every time 😪 Stunningly beautiful and moving 💕 Truly gifted Karl Jenkins 👏🏴
This is a masterpiece - every time I here this it gives me hope for mankind
Nous chantons cette œuvre depuis 10ans et je me réfère toujours à votre manière de la valoriser
Here is the entire mass for peace. It is such a privilege to be part of the 120 person choir to be performing this in October .
I performed this year in an orchestra, and in a choir
it was a pleasure
I NEED to find this man, somebody help if you will
Singing this in school, love Karl Jenkins, one of my favourite composers alive today!
I am very happy I came to find this work, gives me hope that there truly are more beautiful classical works to come like this one.
Should be heard in all countries in these unsettling and dark days! Stay safe and strong. God bless us all

I've read somewhere, can't remember where exactly that it was written for the war of Kosovo, what exactly would you like to know ?

And multi-instrumentalist.
This stirs my soul! Need to play this at full volume!
Me and my concert choir were able to sing this with a band and a few other choirs, best concert of my life.
FANTASTIC !!!!!! Mr Jenkins.....and i thought you and your orchestra deserved MUCH MORE applause than what what got.....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
tHIS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL AND REMINDS ME OF ALL THAT IS SACRED
Очень красивые песни, некоторые из них я пел в хоре- это так красиво. Хоть мне и 13 я обожаю классическую музыку. Спасибо Дженкинс, за столь чудесные песни.

Using the lighting to give the soloist singers a ghostly appearance is a very nice touch.
Lovely moving remembrance to the Fallen
Benedict's is amazing
Outstanding
This was performed on Nov.28, 2018, by the combined choruses and orchestra at the University of Iowa. Just a splendid work!
I was performing in a church in oldham late last year, but i couldnt cope singing the song about the nuclear bombs, so they got the rest of the choir to do it
too heartbreaking
This work ranks - highly ----------------moving forward and recovering the war torn soul -----Thanks to the composer -----
I always think of the music of Carmina Burana when I hear this .
yes i heard the Sanctus on the radio and thought it was Orff. Equally boring.
Har selv sunget dette med to kor, en fantastisk oplevelse. Mødte senere Carl Jenkins himself i Albert Hall -- stort. /Johnny kan anbefales til Kor 72

wonderful concert
The song about the nuclear bombs, where they said, they breath their last as human torches, made me cry
Yes. Really horrible vision
Anti war Hymn inspired by the the conflict. Of man very poignant 😣
Noioso
This work is being performed @ Nottingham Albert Hall Saturday 7th February 2015 :)
I was there and it was great.
Нет слов,потрясающая музыка,мурашки по коже просто отпад.Советую всем кто понимает послушать эту замечательную музыку.

Intro.... yikes.
someone is flat sounding in the choir
!!!!LOL I always think about this comment right at... 25.32 LOL!!!!
Скажу по русски- это очень круто! Но это похоже на Карла Орфа...
I see this is a profound and deeply disturbing piece about war and it’s futile ugliness. A beautiful hymn to mankind - a powerful condemnation of our need to destruct.
Did someone faint near the end 😂
Yes, it was. 🥴
It can be exhausting to sing sometimes. But he recovered well after some rest and water.
