I love this tune. It save my life one night when i was a truck driver. The burst of ...... energy almost at the end woke me up from driving whilst tired.. All involed in making this tune I love you all as I am still here caring for my family. You all are awesome.
There is nothing that touches the human being like this piece of music. I played it just about everyday after I lost my 39 year old son in 2021. It put something back into my soul.

There is nothing sadder than losing a child, my deepest sympathies. How wonderful to have found comfort in this beautiful song by Jenkins. What a blessing to have souls so sensitive that they touch our soul.

So sorry Val. My heart goes out to you 💙🙏
I chose this piece of music to be played at the funeral of my mum and dad. I think it's beyond beautiful and showcases the amazing cello. I love this piece.
My wife bought me the CD when it first came out and we saw it performed live on Worcester Cathedral about 5 years ago. We've played it at family funerals several times. Prayers for you Val and your sad loss. I lost a beautiful brother to Covid in Jan '21. Hosanna in Excelsis.
Karl Jenkins has surely been touched by God. Such wonderful people enrich our lives, Beautiful Beautiful !!!!
God put this song in the composers heart to see what he would do with it. Someday, we will hear an orchestra and choir of angels perform this work, all to the glory of our creator.

Heartrending! One of the most emotive works I've ever heard. Once heard, never forgotten.
I am compiling ideas for my own funeral, to save those left behind having to make decisions. This is high on the list.
We are so grateful to this Welsh musician and composer, allowing us the oportunity to his beautiful music
There is an intimate story of a person who lost a loved one over a year ago in the comments. The sadness and emptiness she felt for her loss. But when you read what she experienced as she was driving and heard this song- her beautiful story brings me to tears of joy. She somehow managed to explain the pain she was feeling and the simple beauty of her surroundings and hearing this song that surrounds us every day that sometimes we miss. Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. It is God's gift that music can bridge the gap of finality and reality yet bring you peace.
As soon as I hear this I'll think of my lovely Mum who passed away in July 2017. She would have loved this sort of music and other music including Madame Butterfly, Maria Callas, Nat King Cole and opera music. I'm sure she is aware of me, what I'm up to and that I will come face to face with her again when I go. All of you reading this -when you die, there cannot be a 'nothing'. I'm sure you will be still aware of 'something' and meet family and friends who have already passed on.
First time I heard this today, im 55 ex forces seen some bad things in my time , n im sitting crying like a 5 year old how bloody amazing is this piece , to be able to reduce a big lump like me to a wreck .thank you Mr Jenkins Sir .

I had the honor of performing this whole mass in 2018 as part of a high school honors choir that was invited to join a local master chorus. This movement had me in tears both nights we performed it. Still my best choral experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.
Makes me think of those who have gone before us.....such beautiful music.....if you can be anything in life be kind to each other.
Too moving to put into words , beyond words , spiritual as if written by God himself . It washes over me and I am enthralled and captivated with tears of joy . Beautiful . Yet these simple words of expression and appreciation are still not enough . Thank you .

As we are in Holy Week nothing brings the emotions together better than this beautiful song. It expresses the beauty, pain and the total human experience to another level- that with our Lord, in such a way that touches and revives and stirs our souls. Thank you for this incredible performance Mr Jenkins and the many performers that made it so special.

My absolutely favourite piece of music, it feeds my soul.
What a beautiful piece of music....
With this piece alone Mr Jenkins has risen into rarefy air that only the truly great composers breathe.
This is the most evocative music I have ever heard, as funeral celebrant I use it for every funeral and it is hard not to shed a tear when I hear it. I had the pleasure only a few weeks ago to soo Karl Jenkins perform this music accompanied by Manchester Choral Society - pure magic

You haven't heard much music if this is the most evocative music you've ever heard. I'm a classically trained musician and I will tell you that this music is considered to be TERRIBLE by the music community. Cheesy, predictable, boring, cringe-worthy. Mozart would be so pissed off if he heard how terrible music has gotten. Real classical music that is current is a reflection of what is happening in art and society, as well as a continuation of the trajectory that Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Schöenberg Cage, and so on. This piece of music is for non-cerebral people.
The most heartbreaking, poignant beautiful music ever.brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
How could you not like this music, absolutely fantastic, get a lump in my throat every time I hear this.
I've listened to this for the past hour. Simply the most peaceful music I have ever heard. Brought tears every time.
They NAILED it! Well done on a beautiful rendition.
So sorry folks but once again I return to this sublimely moving score, yes tears do frequent me when I listen to this so so peaceful and emotive!, reminds me of the ones I have lost over the years!. Karl a big thank you, magnificent
...soothing and transcending to the human soul - The Benedictus - Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord....

There are many beautiful pieces of music out there but this composition must be the very best ever written. Heart stopping and truly magnificent. Tears well up every time I hear it.
SO beautiful! Moves me to tears every time I hear it 🥺🥺🥺
Transcendentedly beautiful. This is why we listen to music - it's power to transport, to give in, to be inspired. Echoes of the sublime Arvo Part whose Spiegel im Spiegel has to be one of the finest contemporary compositions ever.
Love this so much, so beautiful (wish they could wipe off the coughing at the beginning)
Jenkin's beautifully sad music reverberates in the soul giving peace.
Simply one of the most sublime pieces of music ever.
This is my 7th wonder of the world.absolutely beautiful so soothing especially when I feel afraid or my soul feels weary.Thank you to all those gifted with such amazing gifts that we are able to enjoy.Bless you alllx
Beautiful, powerful and emotive. I hope one day for our future generations we learn the lessons of history never to be repeated
A very moving piece of music . And a favourite of a very special friend of mine. Brings me to tears every time i listen to it . Thank you AKS.
Heard this for the first time on classic a m I was blown away by its beauty
Why have I only just discovered this beautiful, amazing piece of music? I can feel the intensity, the power of it, through my keyboard as I type. Thank you Karl Jenkins. This will be added to my favourites.

The young lady plays the Cello so beautifully like Jacqueline du Pre. I just love the way she plays. Excellent
Karl Jenkins is a living legend and he s Welsh, what more can you say except that the Welsh have a true passion for music, singing and harmony
This is one of the most beautiful piece of music well performed and congratulations to the cellist who makes this piece why oh why is the cellist not lit up as she is the most important person there?
Musical masterpiece. Nothing more to say.
Cuánta belleza.....Gracias!
Karl Jenkins/Wales/Benedictus/.......and an outstanding cellist. The epitome of perfection!!!
What a gorgeous cello is that!!
Love this piece.
Magnificent and heavenly. Simply enjoyed the music.
Glorious performance! The solo cello, orchestra, choir, trombones and of course the magnificent percussion
Bought this on a chillout album years ago. Didn't play if for ages until I heard it on a BBC documentary short about the WW1 missing memorial at the Menin Gate. Its beautiful but I can hardly bare to play it. Fills me with a real melancholy but its still an incredible piece of work.
Here in 2019 as Christmas draws near. It's a great piece
In Portuguese (Brasil): Simplesmente Maravilhoso! Maravilhoso! Maravilhoso!
How could anyone dislike this?
Here am I once again tears abound so so beautiful it is on my bucket list, and has been for a long long time Thank you Karl for wringing my emotions out I feel my emotions running wild again thank you

Beautiful music .
Am l alone in thinking this so well depicts the time of deep sorrow after the crucifixion, the laying of our Lords body in the tomb, angels administering to him, then the resurrection (drums) followed by more angels. We performed a passion play and used this to great affect.
Well it was blasting out of my car today and I had to have all the windows open so someone heard it😀

@@coonarick I'm not a big fan of religion either, any religion, but maybe you should read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Armed_Man "In addition to extracts from the Ordinary of the Mass, the text incorporates words from other religious and historical sources, including the Islamic call to prayer, the Bible (e.g. the Psalms and Revelation), and the Mahabharata.". The main reason I have a problem with religion: it's dogmatic and it separates, it creates division and hate instead of unification and love. "Religion is for people who're afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who've already been there." - Vine Deloria Jr. But let's not talk about what divides us: let's talk about what unites us, like this beautiful piece of music.
