the cycle. Parts IV, V and VI are less frequently performed
but are just as full of glorious music. Review |

The
Armed Man: a Mass for Peace |
| The
Welsh composer Karl Jenkins first achieved fame with "Adiemus",
the backing track for the British Airways television commercial
of the mid 1990s. His work has become very popular with audiences
who prefer classical music of the easy-listening variety. "The
Armed Man", commissioned to mark the Millennium, has had
over 300 performances; loosely built around the mediaeval popular
song of the same name, it is a passionate plea for peace and
against war.
