The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace

Album by Karl Jenkins

The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace is a choral album by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, released in 1999. The work blends the structure of a traditional mass with orchestral, choral and world-music influences, employing modal melodies, evocative orchestration and dramatic contrasts to explore themes of war and reconciliation, and it marks Jenkins's move into large-scale choral-orchestral composition within contemporary classical and crossover repertoire.
