Product Description

Album Description
Requiem is scored for mixed choir, string orchestra, soprano solo, boy treble, harp, two horns and shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute). With a duration of about fifty-five minutes, there are thirteen movements, five of which are set to Japanese texts called Jisei, or death poems. Each jisei is in the form of a haiku and is performed by soprano Nicole Tibbels. The rest of the work Karl has set to the Latin requiem mass and is performed by combined choirs from Wales--Côr Caerdydd, Serendipity and Cytgan--and directed by Tim Rhys-Evans. The string musicians are the West Kazakhstan Philharmonic Orchestra (Uralsk Philharmonic Orchestra), which is normally directed by Marat Bisegaliev, but on this recording Marat is leader of the orchestra under Karl's baton.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 26 May 2005
By N. P. Lamb "mainline moderate" (European Union) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Until a year ago I never ventured further than the music of John Rutter. Perchance I heard a track on a promo CD taken from Jenkins' The Armed Man. The music just seemed to capture me and not let me go. So, now to the Requiem. I am listening to it as I write. I have just ordered the SATB score. Does that say enough? This music is simply giving me goosebumps. I cannot explain why. The music seems to pick me up and carry me away. The haikus are so refreshing. This is a requiem fit for someone whom you deeply love and will sorely miss.
The music is modern but not so modern that it will age rapidly. In fact I would hope to hear it still be played if I should return to this world in 200 years'time. Along with Schütz, Bach, Rutter etc.
I am probably not being very clear in what I write. As a choral singer I can only say that music either moves me or it does not. This has moved me!! Give it a chance. Open up to serious modern music from a composer who dares to interpret the requiem in his own way. Jenkins' father must have been a great man to deserve such an in memoriam!
"In these Stones Horizons Sing" is so invigorating! Pity the CD has to end....

5.0 out of 5 stars Spine tingling Requiem, 20 May 2005
By Robin J Sainty (Milton Keynes, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The harp solo in the "In Paradisum" track is the most beautiful harp soloI have ever heard in my life. It was the initial reason that I purchased the album. I have admired Carl Jenkins work for a long time but have never been a big fan of Requiems.
This Requiem, however, is something completely different. From the opening Introit & Kyrie through the Lacrimosa, Pie Jesu and Lux Aeterna, this album if full of spine tingling vocals and passionate instrumentals. The Dies Irae is like no piece of Requiem music you have ever heard - possibly comparable to Orff's Carmina Burana. This is a sheer joy to listen to wherever you are- in the bath or in the car. In Paradisum literally brings me to tears - it is so beautiful. If you love passion filled music go out and buy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart breaking 'death poems', 2 Jun 2005
By K. L. Smith (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a truly moving experience, beautifully recorded. Read the text for each piece of music , these poems for departed souls are heart breakingly moving so that by the time you get to PIE JESU I'm sure you will get pretty choked-up. Karl Jenkins is a bold composer with no ego to grind, a humble man, this new work is real joy. A nice booklet goes with this c.d. with notes by the composer. This for me is the c.d. of 2005...for those who have lost a loved-one this music will give great comfort... spiritually uplifting. A 'must buy'.

Requiem is a familiar blend from Karl Jenkins, but yet woven from the same cloth as all his other work, it still seems to be different in many ways. Read more
