Karl Jenkins is an award-winning multi-million selling composer whose 'Adiemus' albums have gone gold in many countries around the world and whose timeless music inspired the slogan 'Spiritual Music for the Secular World' Following Karl Jenkins's No.1 Classical Hit album 'The Armed Man' EMI Classics releases his brand-new Requiem. This dramatic, powerful and moving work draws on Western and Oriental traditions. The Requiem (Rest in Paradise) is a mass for the souls of the dead set to texts from the Christian Mass (in Latin), using the familiar Dies irae, Pie jesu and Lacrimosa among others and Japanese jisei. These are traditional Japanese haiku which, in timeless music, highlight the cyclical nature of life, death and rebirth. The music is by turns dramatic and peaceful, powerful and uplifting with the Western melodic style incorporating ethnic and world music elements (Japanese instruments and harmonies) - the trademark of Karl Jenkins's writing.
