2 thoughts on “Karl Jenkins, The Armed Man, 2001

  1. Got to learn this music from a school performance, then learned that Karl Jenkins used to play with the Soft Machine. Great accessible music, The Armed Man being a medieval/renaissance song about the archetypal soldier, the exact opposite of the “blessed he ho cometh in the name of the Lord”, the armed man brings misery and grief.
    If you like the Sanctus, then listen to Beethoven’s Sanctus in the Missa Solemnis. it will blow you away!
