Poignantly beautiful and stunningly emotional
I received this CD as a gift from a friend in the UK. He was spot on as to the musical intregrity of this mass. I was moved by the beauty and power of Jenkin's 21st century lyrical move from the Muslim call to prayer, to the amassing of troops,...

The Armed Man
Militaristic themes announce the Armed Man, followed by a Muslim call to Prayer. The Mass itself provides a "Kyrie," "Sanctus," "Agnus Dei," and "Benedictus" all of which are wonderful contributions to choral music. The work ends in a lovely a...

Powerful - Haunting
Beautifully performed. This music is powerful, thought provoking, haunting, and finally hopeful. The CD has helped me tremendously in learning this piece. The group with which I sing is performing it soon. I hope we do it justice.

A Modern Mass-ter
This performance of Karl Jenkins "Mass for Peace" is a moving performance of a work and a composer who ought to be better known. The Sanctus alone is worth the full price of the CD.

A pleasant suprise
Although I had heard only the "Kyrie" from this music composition, I was very surprised to find the rest of the work very interesting and charming to my ears, which is one the assets I look for when I listen to new musical pieces. It is a modern...
