Benedictus - Karl Jenkins 

So do I and I bought a score that I play on the organ at the Church where I am Organist/Minister of Music. I like playing it very hushed until mid-way when that sudden fortissimo "event" happens. Either way, the people are utterly quiet throughout.

Karl given his master piece classic music Just takes one for the 21 century master piece Wishing the world 🌍.in peace Enjoy your peace life Enjoy this beautiful classic music 🎶 For ever Talit......

Suggest listening to the Mozart “Ave Verum Corpus”. It’s a tough decision!

The capacity and inspiration which man has is a a gift from our Lord . The sounds are from Heaven which we can hear in this physical world.

@@ilonkastille2993 Then there are the sounds of children and those crying in pain from terminal cancer. You can't have one without the other. As for the music It was mankind who created the instruments, it was a member of mankind who created this music, it was members of mankind who performed it, it was members of mankind who brought about the technology to bring it to you. And its mankind who are striving to stop those suffering. I know your trying to be gracious in your appreciation, but it is at the cost of the amazing abilities of mankind. The darkness of humanity brought about the holocaust, influenced by religion but your lord apparently did nothing to stop it. No, it was the sacrifice and bravery of others in mankind that stopped it.

@@17thMustang this physical world Is only temporary and we all have to die some day. It is terrible to see children die , you are totally right and every parent will be in pain till the end of their lives. Illness and death are part of the physical world and we know we cannot live forever. If we believe in the Divine then we know that our lives do not end here. As for what you are saying about "mankind created the instruments, they wrote (created) the music , they performed it and man brought about the technology so that we can hear it all over the world. We all know that, but you forget who created mankind with all his capacities. A man and a woman cannot create their own child, a new human being. Mankind can not do anything without being born with the capacities that are part of what he is. He is also created to RECEIVE the INSPIRATION needed to create BEAUTY . The Catholic curriculum standard, educating to Truth, Beauty and Goodness is: Catholic intellectual inquiry is to use the lenses of Truth, Goodness and Beauty to evaluate a subject under consideration. These 3 elements are understood as being among the transcendals. They are the timeless and universal attributes of BEING. They are the properties of all beings. They REFLECT the divine origin of all things and the unity of all truth and reality in God.These 3 transcendals are intertwined. The wars and the darkness and the terrible things that are "created" by man , exist because of the ABSENCE of the Divine. The divine is always there but those who create the misery and the horrors have blocked the presence and reality of the divine.

@@17thMustang because of the Lord gives everybody the freedom to choose the way of love, forgiveness and life. Life is there to learn and to grow in personsality and character everybody in his/her own speed and way. God doesn"t do good or bad. It is the way mankind is acting. Don't blame him for giving us the freedom to choose, which way to go. Because many of us find this way the ability to be good and to develop. Everybody has to die one day anyway - so "carpe diem" use your time carefully to learn and become a happy, consent person, who has the power to raise up others by music , art or any other kind of ability even just a friendly word. God will not save the World for us, we have to do it ourselves. But if you get in motion, God will grant you any kind of help you need, to make the world a better place.

The wicked will do wickedly but they shall NOT escape. They will be judged as and when God sees fit! Praise God!

So true, my friend, it is humbling and grounding. Their is something right about listening to such yearning in the melody (Let alone Jenkins fingers) and tearing for a while as opposed to loathing violence.

I totaly agree with you!!

♥️

Credo che Jenkins, con questo brano, abbia messo in musica il canto della mia anima. Complimenti per la direzione particolarmente struggente. Un privilegio averti tra i miei amici, benvenuto

unbeschreiblich berührend!

Por favor queria a letra dessa canção, uma excelente canção. Parabéns pela condução.

KARL, given his 21 century master piece classic music Karl finally done it Just take one Work of art Beautiful classic music Wishing the world 🌎 a to listen to this master piece Have a beautiful life Talit........ check the space version Beautiful universe with this master piece

The video of Adimeus with the huge birds flying made this grown man cry like a baby,very emotional. It reminds me of souls flying on the wings of Angel's to their heavenly home

Yes beautiful.

The original setting, Guillaume Dufay's Cantus Firmus (ie Folk) mass L'Homme Armé, was written in the 1430s as support for the Papacy of Eugenius IV, who tried to unite the warring west in support of the Varna Crusade. Standing alongside Jan van Eyck's Mystic Lamb and Fountain of Life, they formed a quadrivium foundation for Jan van Ruusbroec's Spiritual Tabernacle, which has become a major inspiration for Gerardus Groot's Windesheim. The work itself is the seminal consolidation of the doctrine of the Eucharist, and Windesheim shaped it into the Devotio Moderna, as espoused by it's major graduates, Luther and Erasmus. I came on this researching the thinking behind the Order at the heart of the Eucharistic Renewal movement of the second half of the 19th Century, under Anna de Meeus, who attributed the vocation to her first chapel in Brussels, established by Eugenius as the physical heart of the doctrine. The ideation came into the hands of the Chief Theologian, Jean Gerson, for pre-publication approval, on the death of Ruusbroec, and he spotted an excellent argument to end the Papal Schism, one of the driving forces of the Hundred Years War. He referred it to his mentor, Pierre d'Ailly, but their motive was overtaken by current events, the Ottoman threat to Wallachia. The Voivode, Vlad Dracula (I kid you not) was releasing his PTSD on the locals, the Saxon residents of the lands surrounding the mouth of the Danube, modern Bulgaria and Romania, and they complained to the top of the feudal tree, the Holy Roman Emperor. He needed more support than he had to hand, which meant the strop between the Plantagenets and Valois we now call the Hundred Years War had to end, so the Papacy had to be freed from Valois control, and resume its historical supremacy, which Ruusbroec had so conveniently provided the case for. As a result, the Holy Roman Emperor convened the Papal Council under d'Ailly's chairmanship at Constance in 1414, and he made it clear from the start who was boss, having Jan Hus burned at the stake for jumping the gun. The French made it clear they weren't having it, and were promptly removed from the board in similarly brutal fashion, courtesy of the Holy Roman Empire's Burgundian vassals and their English allies, who pull the entire French fighting force, all four armies, into a trap known as Agincourt. Most surrendered and were executed, including half a dozen of d'Ailly's kin: but the Cardinal was delighted, he says so in a letter of congratulations to Henry. Green light all the way until the Italians stick their oar in. If this is a reset, then reset it all the way, the consolidation pope has to be old-school, drawn from the Roman famiglias. So d'Ailly picks the most decrepit of thew Papabili, Martin V, and it all goes wrong. The Papal nuns took one look at him, recognised lactose intolerance, and switched him to goats milk. The old boy perked up and lived to a very inconvenient old age, having fun following his own agenda and not that desired by the Establishment. d'Ailly didn't long outlive his success, but Windesheim was running. A Venetian graduate was the next Pope, and hit the ground running, with his Coronation Anthem written by Dufay, Ecclesie Militate, Church Take Arms! The Armed Man soon followed. Although d'Ailly wasn't around, another of the Compiegne branch was, Jeanne, who'd picked up the surname d'Arc along the way, and her story you know. It was the last thing the HRE needed, the call to arms went disregarded, nobody was going gallivanting into the East and the HRE went alone, with predictable consequences: Lombard Finance discredits Eugenius and takes the Papacy instead of war munitions income. One detail: both van Eyck and Dufay were on d'Ailly's staff at Constance. The major works on this are Professor Bernard Guenee's biography of d'Ailly in Beyond Church and State and Professor Craig Wright's thinking in The Maze and the Warrior. My work has been critically checked by Professor Charles Burnett, Professor Wright, and Till Holger Borchert, and I'm indebted to Professor Laura Smoller. The work was commissioned by the Belgian Supreme Court. I should also mention my in-laws have contacts in Sir Karl's village (Huw's funeral next week) and my wife and I were from the team which won the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize for our work in Peacemaking, including completing the Mahatma's unfinished business.

you beautiful man

Haunting too!

Richard ... This concert was performed having done only one orchestral rehearsal. So the result, given the premises, is excellent for me

I thought that too n honestly the performance was really bad

😂😂got me totally!

It woke me up, that's for sure.

I had ear phones in 🥁🥁BOOM

glad I scrolled through comments during listening, so I read this and reduced the volume of my headphones!

Por los siglos de los siglos AMEN

Harley Jules indeed , the version off 2 cellos are 1 of the best

+Harley Jules hi Harley I agree with you the 2 cello's version is great not taking any think away from this version love them both it's the build up that get's to me music at it's best

The 2 Cellos have worked a great passage in where the original builds to a crescendo with timpani's, but they have an amazing sound production which makes them sound perhaps a little better than pure acoustic instruments? Personally this one moves me the most. The Karl Jenkins Birthday performance is also very good, allowing for the Singer coming from a talent show!

They are more inspired

Me, too. That's how I ended up coming here! For Karl, the original composer. Tears of heaven, tears of joy,

Yes Composer are like Jigsaw puzzles Just looking for one piece to complete his MASTER piece... Once in a century lwe get a master piece classic music 🎵🎶 Karl should be given a Nobel peace prize 🏆 Thank you Talit.

Or whiskey for that matter.

Agreed .. this piece as interpreted by 2Cellos draws out the emotion of the piece .. poignant and moving. This is not very dimensional ... but is the conductors interpretation.

Or a good compost.

Bands "cover" songs written by other bands. Orchestras/choirs perform music written by a composer. There's no "covering" going on here.

Cause if it‘s faster it‘s easier for the choir...

Joe Rocky this is unbalanced, with a lack of depth and in parts out of tune, muddled and then booming with the drums and clamour,,

@@123clanger 👎 The conductor says they only had 1 rehearsal. I loved this along with 99% of the comments 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Paulo Miguel Not true! Even animals know the beauty and live in it more than we do.

True Composer ai like Jigsaw puzzles Just one more piece to complete his master piece classic Unfortunately come once every century Like all classic music That my piece Talit

Totally agree Gustavo!!

Not just the strings!

+theDraco Nope, the strings are slightly flat.

No wonder it did not sound quite right!

Shoot the violinist.

gran coro,pero hay que despertar al director

ryan777 I tried to sleep listening to this a few times...I failed. Hosanna in excelsis.

Hahaha you made me laugh, I had the same experience at 5.19..

Class. :)

You Sir made me laugh.

crude

One of the best performances of this piece is by the cellist Stjepen Hauser, with the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra. Both he and the orchestra treat the work with the sensitivity it deserves; the voices of the choir are angelic and the conductor, Elizabeth Fuchs is inspirational. Point your browser to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eGbHnJCDMyE.html and be prepared for an emotional experience.

Why complain? Simply enjoy the sheer beauty of this heartfelt work.
