Karl Jenkins, the mastermind of the Adiemus project and The Armed Man (A Mass For Peace) has the gift of composing music that speaks to a very wide audience. This is a highly interesting work that draws on Western and Oriental traditions. Requiem is a mass for the souls of the dead set to texts in both Latin and Japanese, highlighting the cyclical nature of life, death and rebirth. This album is re-released by Decca on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Karl Jenkins. Requiem 54:25 In These Stones Horizons Sing 16:26
