We have now added captions to the concert, so you can follow the lyrics (and maybe sing along).

Whether you're a fan of classical music or not, Karl Jenkins' Stabat Mater is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty of music. Such mesmerizing melodies!!

Incredible. Beautiful. I cant believe this was composed in the 21st century!! (the music I mean) I stand corrected, I have been saying that musical composition was completely dead. Especially the movement that starts at 24:17, moved me to tears the first time I heard it. . . . still does. Great to hear we still have great composers alive today. Thank you Karl.

a true masterpiece---it brings tears to the eyes and wins over the heart! Such poignancy!

What is it about Sir Karl Jenkins music that hits the spot every time ? He is ,without doubt, my favourite composer ever …..

Beautiful work and most wonderful contralto I have heard on more than 6 presentations of this composition.

magnificent glorious orchestra and singers superbb thank you everybody for changing my life

No matter how many Stabat Maters I listen to, can't get Dvorak's out of my head; SO PIOGNANT, so tearful. Doesn't mean this is any less beautiful, though!

En la iglesia de San Francisco de la ciudad de Cali (Colombia) se presentó esta magnífica obra. Tuve el honor de estar en primera fila. Sublime.

Musical Friends, I quess this is the real meaning of Karl Jenkins music: to share thougths and feelings from both the music, the lyrics and -not at least- the performance! I 'm very grateful to be able to sing it together with so many singers from all over the world! And among the members of my choir from The Netherlands; also my two daughters! And among tha audiance; my wife, Wonderfull.

ooit zelf meegezongen met mijn koor en andere mensen en muzikanten .dit stabat mater geweldig mooi

Aos 84 anos vividos, não sei se o resto de vida me será suficiente para gostar do modo como Jenkins utiliza os 12 sons da escala cromática, mas ousadia e competência não lhe podem ser negados! O autor, mais do que atrevido nas suas concepções sonoras ( manifestação absolutamente subjetiva), coloca sobre o texto de "Jacopone da Trali & Inocêncio III, um excepcional trabalho que nos leva ao local e ambientação dessa trama, diferentemente de todas as obras que conhecemos, tratadas, musicalmente, num sistema euro-ocidental de fazer música, e a partir desta constatação me rendo à competência do autor, de cuja obra total poderei, futuramente, ser incondicional admirador. Neste trabalho, o discurso musical se interage com a emoção do texto, e nos conduz ao verdadeiro significado desse acontecimento que continua emocionando o mundo, qual seja, o desespero de Maria, aos pés de seu filho agonizando na cruz...

No texto acima, onde se lê Jacopone da Trali, leia-se Jacopone da Tradi.

Sencillamente "ESPECTACULAR"

My choir is rehearsing this for a concert on Good Friday. We have also done the "Armed Man" twice. Great music and an even greater privilege to be part of it.

No soy una persona religiosa , pero esto , sin dudas es mas que una maravilla , es algo tan hermoso , que te ilumina , te enfada y pero sobretodo te calma ... la belleza de la música , ES BELLO

If I had been there I'd have been speechless

Es la música coral de tema religioso que haya oído nunca. Se adentra en el espíritu para que comprendamos la grandeza de esta gran obra, te deja sensación de paz y bienestar

UNA VERSIÓN DISTINTA DE APRECIACIÓN DE UN STABAT MATER QUE ACOSTUMBRARA ESCUCHAR POR COMPOSITORES COMO PERGOLESI POR EJEMPLO ! GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR !

Complimenti a tutti ma permettetemi di dire "bravi e ancora bravi" al coro,in modo particolare ai soprani. Bravissime!!

No, it's not. The concert is directed by Lars Hernqvist, but there is definitely some similarites between him and Karl Jenkins. :-)

Is the chanting part ad lib, or is it written in the score? That soloist was so cool. I can’t do those “yodel flips” and am amazed at people who can.

Is this concert being directed by Jenkins? Love it. Also check out Benedictus.

LOL I'm an idiot. . . 9:30 is the start of the next song and I don't know how to make a time stamp. . . Peace ✌🏿

Ah, I see. The orchestra is Oscar Fredriks Sinfonietta (www.oscarfredriksinfonietta.se) which is a chamber orchestra. However, to many of the concerts we perform, they use to bring in some extra instruments, e.g. percussion and wind instruments.

Why?

Touches of Purcell there!

"AND THE MOTHER DID WEEP" IS GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD ... SHE WEPT OF COURSE ... FOR HER SON WHO WAS SUFFERING THESE OUTRAGES FOR THE SAKE OF THE SALVATION OF HUMANKIND ... BUT EVEN MORE SHE WEPT FOR THE HUMANKIND WHO WOULD NOT ACCEPT NOR HONOR HIS SACRIFICE ..

True - but anyone can wear a label and do something violent in the name of whatever religion or faith, regardless of whether the fundamental beliefs of that religion or faith actually support what they are doing. Jesus was certainly not a proponent of violence, but many of those who claim to be his followers were and are. It would be like claiming to be an environmentalist, but actually supporting the destruction of rainforests. Unfortunately people lie.

but don't forget that Karl is an atheist.

Much as I love this and Karl Jenkins in general, I was disappointed to find it sounds too much like a rehash of his brilliant "The Armed Man"! So many of the same harmonies, same melody lines, same phrasing, whole passages of the same orchestration. And I'm not even a musician!

I also agree. Once you have heard one piece, you have heard them all. They are just variations on the same themes. He needs to come up with some new themes and harmonies.

There has been so much death and violence in the name of Jesus and other religions. Most religions are controlling and punitive. I believe that the only peaceful religion seems to be Buddhism.

Sorry to disappoint you. Ask the Rohingya people of Myanmar (Birma) whether they agree with you ... probably they will disagree.

KJ fait de bons arrangements mais au final on a un conglomérat de différents styles: occidental, oriental, médiéval, choeur de messe, classique, et moderne... et ce côté "conquérant" permanent est prodigieusement ennuyeux! KJ à la technique. Il lui manque le génie.

Obsession with "peace" and atheism would seem to be odd bedfellows. Surely such a composer must have at least a little fascination with Jesus, the Prince of Peace to write such music. Jesus himself said those are for Him who are not against Him. Besides, there are no real atheists. Everyone believes in their heart of hearts. Some are just intellectually proud and think it "cool" or they're angry at God and so deny the one thing God seeks from them...faith. Now agnosticism can be honest.

I find it actually kind of boring...
