A special thanks to John Stallard of CubbyHoleStudio for creating this backing track and mixing the recording. Benedictus is part of The Armed Man Mass by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, subtitled “A Mass for Peace“. The piece was commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum for the Millennium celebrations, to mark the museum's move from London to Leeds, and it was dedicated to victims of the Kosovo crisis. Like Benjamin Britten's War Requiem before it, it is essentially an anti-war piece and is based on the Catholic Mass, which Jenkins combines with other sources, principally the fifteenth century folk song “L'homme armé“ in the first and last movements. This instrumental is based on the Haley Westernra performance. Please note: The song is the property and copyright of its rightful owner(s) and geoffers47 claims no ownership.
