Benedictus, by Karl Jenkins - A meditation for peace and an open heart 

Amen, Cap'n!

Brian, your eloquence in describing how music (and art in general, in my view) can point to the transcendence of this world and to love is... well, I suppose it's why I feel moved to put together videos like this. Your words nailed it! I'm so glad this found you. Are you familiar with the work of composer Max Richter? I hope it's not to presumptuous... but I suspect you'd really enjoy this vid from the channel too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html It is one of my personal favorites. Let me know if you see it. And in the meantime and for all time: Peace be with you, my friend! - Jonathan

Michael, I agree with you wholeheartedly! Peace IS happiness, in fact. There is another clip on the channel that points to exactly what you've written above, and I think you might enjoy it immensely: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html If you see it, I hope you'll let me know what you think in the comments. Of all the videos I have created, it is one of my favorites. In any case... Peace be with you, my friend! - Jonathan

A fine thought for the world... and a brilliant directive for one's self. Peace be with you, my friend! 😊🙏

YES

Alcyone, I'm so touched at... how touched you are by this!

Wow, Alcyone, rarely have I read such a beautiful, poetic description of joy.

That's the true beauty, which brings us healing, love, joy and an open heart...... I am grateful for heavenly music like this. Love to all of you, you beautiful souls..... Thomas.

Maria, I'm glad you felt compelled by this. It was a joy to put together! And as for what's helpful and inspiring.... visually arresting... and set to gorgeous music... I sincerely believe you'd enjoy this video in particular, from the channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html If you see it, I'll be curious to hear your thoughts. In the meantime, peace be with you!! 😊 - Jonathan

Ian, may the great leveler of art acquaint you ever more deeply with that peace, such that you bring a bit of that very peace back in to this mad, mad world! Amen! Delighted you found this, and thank you for your note. It inspires me to continue creating things like this. I encourage you to check out the channel, where there are a couple others similar to this one. Peace be wit'chu Ian!

Amen, and so glad you found something good for your soul here, Terry. 😊🙏

@@jonathanvanvalin4518 amen and amen 🙏 🙏✝️✝️

I know the feeling, Julia! So glad you enjoyed this. Are you familiar with composer Max Richter? You might really enjoy this one from the channel as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html Let me know your thoughts if you see it... and Peace be with you! - Jonathan😊🙏

Glad you enjoyed this Arlene! You might enjoy this one from the channel too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html

Yes. Amen, Matakata! May those smiles and that beauty refract through you in benediction to the world around you! ...and in that way the great big wheel will keep on turnin'... 😊

Yep. That's the best explanation I have, too.... 😊🙏

I share with you all you said! Can there possibly be any music more beautiful than this masterpiece?

It really is! Glad you enjoyed this, MJ. :-)

I do it the mornig. Glad for a Believer Doctor. God Have Mercy on Us.

Jan-Pieter, thank you for your comment and for voicing your loving intentions to me and to the world. They matter! They make a difference! I'm glad this video found you and could contribute to your peace. That was certainly my intention for it. Thank you, also, for the daily work you do that puts your loving intention into action. Continued peace be with you, my friend! - Jonathan 🙏😊

MH, I'm so glad you felt uplifted. Your note is a little gift that buoys my heart too, and I'm always thankful for that, wherever I am going. May the warmth and uplift you felt today surround and nurture that soul of yours, and lead you towards even greater nourishment. You may also enjoy a few other creations from my channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCN_VGCHCruMR6dm3Hk7LmoQ ...perhaps the Family Of Man clip, in particular, I suspect... and in the meantime, here's wishing peace upon you! Feel free to reach back out with your thoughts. - Jonathan 😊🙏

Glad you found this, Pete, and thanks for expressing your joy! I love that art can do that. Are you familiar with Max Richter? Another fantastic composer, not so well known to the masses. You might really enjoy this clip I put together using his music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html

In my burial will I have made it as an obligation that this Benedictus has to be played after my blessing. This music makes me cry every time I listen at it, it is so divine!💖

Amen! ...and I totally agree!

For now! 😊😊 ...and may you find the peace that passes understanding as the world becomes blurry... 😊🙏 - Jonathan p,s,,, you might really enjoy this one from the channel as well... perhaps it will keep beelzebub at bay a little longer too... 😄😇 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html if you see it, let me know your thoughts! - Jonathan

Mine too, Judit. Glad it moved you. Are you familiar with composer Max Richter? I think you might really enjoy this recent video on my channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html Let me know your thoughts if you see/hear it! - Jonathan 😊🙏

What a beautiful comment, George. Thank you! This was a joy to produce and I'm so glad you've found comfort in it. That was certainly the intent! Are you familiar with composer Max Richter? I sincerely believe you'd very much enjoy this one from the channel as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html Let me know if you see it, George, and feel free to share your thoughts! In the meantime, blessings and peace be upon you as well! - Jonathan

@@jonathanvanvalin4518 Thank you very much Jonathan. Yes I have only recently discovered the music of MR as a result of listening to Classic FM and so on and as you imagined, I really enjoy his work. Another is pianist Alberto Giurioli but there are so many modern composers who inspire me. I watched the video you suggested and it was a great, very moving way to start my day (unintended poetry)! Again the music fitted the pictures beautifully and the pictures were not posed but natural so infinitely better for it. I recently came across a photo of a boy, weeping while playing his violin at his teacher's funeral. His teacher had helped him out of poverty in Brazil. I think it was called Diego the violinist or something similar. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about him and especially as I have read that Diego died from some condition. I have to say that you are doing very therapeutic service for the world (well my little corner of it in UK anyway!) I think it is what computer people call "rebooting" but rather than a kicking, it is a gentle nudge to remind me/us of the beauty of the world in sound and vision and I look forward to more of the same soon. Meanwhile, blessings and peace unbounded. ps I was just about to recommend a lovely video about light, spiritual awareness and awakening with Hymn To The Cherubim playing and then found it was yours! Another success!

😊🙏 Yes. I agree!

Glad you've enjoyed this, Keith. It was a joy to put Jenkins Benedictus with images... Are you familiar with the work of composer Max Richter? Given that you enjoyed this, I think you'd really enjoy this one from the channel as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html Peace be with you! Let me know your thoughts if you see it... - Jonathan

James, so glad this found you and moved you. I sincerely think you'll really enjoy this one from the channel as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html both the imagery and the gorgeous music from composer Max Richter... hope you'll let me know your thoughts on it! Peace be with you, brother!

@@jonathanvanvalin4518 Thank you, I watched the video and left a comment.

AMEN 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

André, que cette même inspiration te trouve et te transporte vers ta propre expression la plus élevée. Que la paix soit avec toi! - Jonathan ru-vid.com/show-UCN_VGCHCruMR6dm3Hk7LmoQ

🇺🇲

Well said, Patrick. I agree... wholeheartedly! Peace be with you, my friend.

Maria... I think that's a good description of how this video came to be in the first place, and the main intent was simply to pass it on... I'm so glad it found you!

Amen, friend! And Peace be with you! 😊🙏 - Jonathan

Your words of support and joy will absolutely add to the inspiration that urges me toward continued creating, and I sincerely appreciate that. I think you might really enjoy this one from the channel too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html which uses the music of composer Max Richter... are you familiar with him? I'll enjoy hearing your thoughts about it if you see the clip. I do sincerely think you'll find it lovely. Very different from Karl Jenkins music, yet cut from a similarly soulful cloth... Thank you again, Grammy Beck! - Jonathan 😊🙏

Astrid! I'm so glad you've enjoyed this - it was a joy to produce - and what a lovely note to receive from you. Peace and good health be upon you as well, and may the respite you've found here find it's way into all your being, and to those around you! 😊🙏

Robert, I'm so glad you've enjoyed this. May the light it sparks within you find it's way into the small and large perambulations of your daily life! I'd suspect you'd really like this one from the channel as well, with the music of Max Richter: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html If you see it, let me know your thoughts... and in the meantime, peace be with you! - Jonathan

The pleasure was certainly mine, Morag. Thank you for the comment, and your general upliftment! It adds to my own inspiration for creating, and I sincerely appreciate that. When it comes to images-and-music, I'm rather certain you'd really enjoy this one from the channel as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html It's one of my favorites, and features gorgeous music from composer Max Richter. Let me know what you think if you see it! And in the meantime, peace be with you! - Jonathan

@@jonathanvanvalin4518 I have just returned to this comment after following your link. The Richter piece is one I didn't know previously. It provided a deeply moving sountrack to your montage of some very profound images. I know I'll be returning to it often. Thank you.

Yes all those photos- beautiful smiles, beautiful people reflecting the glory of God!🙏✝️

Parlo abbastanza italiano per dire: grazie per le tue gentili parole! Sono così felice che tu l'abbia trovato bello e stimolante. La pace sia con te, Graciela! 😊🙏 (I speak just enough Italian to say: thank you for your kind words! I am so glad you found this beautiful and inspiring. Peace be with you, Graciela!)

So glad this found you, and that it moved you. Thank you for your comment! I suspect you'd really enjoy the other two vid's in this evolving series: with music by Max Richter ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html (this might be my personal favorite!) and this one with absolutely stunning music by Tchaikovsky: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0-McLoUKvfc.html ...if you see them, do let me know what experience or thoughts they evoke if you're willing. It is genuinely interesting for me to hear and frequently inspiring! And in the meantime, may the peace that passes understanding find you and keep you in it's graces! 😊🙏 - Jonathan

Hello Bartlettje! Yes, I agree with you. Glad you enjoyed this and were inclined to comment, as doing so makes it more likely some of these good vibrations spread a little further and a little further out into the world around us. Peace be with you, and thank you for your comment! - Jonathan 😊

Ciao Renata! Adiemus è una serie di album di musica new age del compositore gallese Karl Jenkins. È anche il titolo della traccia di apertura del primo album della serie, Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary, registrato nel 1994 e pubblicato l'anno successivo.

Capisco che Jenkins non sia così conosciuto come altri compositori, che è parte del motivo per cui ho deciso di creare questo video. Ecco un altro compositore che penso potresti amare assolutamente: Max Richter. Ecco un altro cortometraggio del canale che combina la sua musica straordinaria con alcune immagini potenti... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html

Grazie per il tuo interesse, Renata! Sono così felice che tu ti sia sentito ispirato. Il tuo entusiasmo mi ispira a creare di più! La pace sia con te! - Jonathan

@@jonathanvanvalin4518 grazie, posseggo quegli album e per me sono stati una meravigliosa esperienza ascoltarli. Non ritengo sia musica new age, ma musica di un altro valore, alto, spirituale, che tocca il ciakra del cuore e ha la potenza di farti viaggiare fuori dal tempo e dallo spazio. Per questo mi chiedo come mai Jenkins non abbia il successo che merita, un vero peccato! Grazie per la risposta e per i video che posti, mai banali. 🌺🌺🌺

@@jonathanvanvalin4518 sto ascoltando la musica che mi hai inviato, è bella e molto triste. Non mi piacciono le fotografie, sono una esaltazione della condizione umana. Spero tu sappia cosa e chi c'è dietro a tale condizione, il discorso qui si fa pesante e complicato. Credo che non si debba celebrare solo la vita umana, questo pianeta è popolato da molteplici vite diverse tutte di pari dignita' dell'uomo, ma purtroppo così non avviene. La tristezza di questa musica, per me, descrive alla perfezione ciò che intendo dire. Ci vuole Amore, vero, che abbraccia anche la creatura che ai nostri occhi risulta essere la più insignificante, solo così potremo creare e vivere tutti in armonia. Grazie, he l'Universo con il suo Essere Pensiero ti protegga e ti ami.

Glad you enjoyed this! You might enjoy this one from the channel too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9n9uVfstxEU.html Peace be with you my friend!

Excellent question Claire! If you mean the score, I'd check the music library of your nearest university, or start searching online for other sources. Surely there will be many. If you mean to find a recording well... here's one conducted by Karl Jenkins himself: www.amazon.com/Armed-Man-Karl-Jenkins/dp/B07KZKCPZS/ref=asc_df_B07KZKCPZS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385569273507&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4957373025478639473&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033320&hvtargid=pla-645976883451&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=79422666180&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385569273507&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4957373025478639473&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033320&hvtargid=pla-645976883451

May the peace that passes all understanding find you, Melania! Sometimes music opens such a wonderful door to that... Are you familiar with composer Max Richter?

music... art in general... indeed, so subjective. One hopes that the love behind the creative process shines through every creation. That's how it spreads...

Perhaps u should listen to this with your Heart and not your mind or education

Glad you found it so... :-)
