Benedictus - Karl Jenkins

[@keshavprasad2262]

In these troubled times of Covid-19 pandemic that has brought so much pain and suffering, to millions I listen to Benedictus repeatedly. It is soothing, heavenly and uplifting - thanks to Karl Jenkins.

[@dalerider3124]

So do I and I bought a score that I play on the organ at the Church where I am Organist/Minister of Music. I like playing it very hushed until mid-way when that sudden fortissimo "event" happens. Either way, the people are utterly quiet throughout.

[@propman3523]

Breathtaking in its heavenly majesty. Carl Jenkins is a Mozart of our age.

[@garyeaton7271]

It's a shame so many young people do not listen to this beautiful music. When I say to them, they can not feel the magic

[@stevebirmingham9650]

This is one of the very best pieces of music ever written, it just proves what man can create a pure work of art and a joy to listen too

[@billlawton1186]

Suggest listening to the Mozart “Ave Verum Corpus”. It’s a tough decision!

The capacity and inspiration which man has is a a gift from our Lord . The sounds are from Heaven which we can hear in this physical world.

[@17thMustang]

@@ilonkastille2993 Then there are the sounds of children and those crying in pain from terminal cancer. You can't have one without the other. As for the music It was mankind who created the instruments, it was a member of mankind who created this music, it was members of mankind who performed it, it was members of mankind who brought about the technology to bring it to you. And its mankind who are striving to stop those suffering. I know your trying to be gracious in your appreciation, but it is at the cost of the amazing abilities of mankind. The darkness of humanity brought about the holocaust, influenced by religion but your lord apparently did nothing to stop it. No, it was the sacrifice and bravery of others in mankind that stopped it.

[@ilonkastille2993]

@@17thMustang this physical world Is only temporary and we all have to die some day. It is terrible to see children die , you are totally right and every parent will be in pain till the end of their lives. Illness and death are part of the physical world and we know we cannot live forever. If we believe in the Divine then we know that our lives do not end here. As for what you are saying about "mankind created the instruments, they wrote (created) the music , they performed it and man brought about the technology so that we can hear it all over the world. We all know that, but you forget who created mankind with all his capacities. A man and a woman cannot create their own child, a new human being. Mankind can not do anything without being born with the capacities that are part of what he is. He is also created to RECEIVE the INSPIRATION needed to create BEAUTY . The Catholic curriculum standard, educating to Truth, Beauty and Goodness is: Catholic intellectual inquiry is to use the lenses of Truth, Goodness and Beauty to evaluate a subject under consideration. These 3 elements are understood as being among the transcendals. They are the timeless and universal attributes of BEING. They are the properties of all beings. They REFLECT the divine origin of all things and the unity of all truth and reality in God.These 3 transcendals are intertwined. The wars and the darkness and the terrible things that are "created" by man , exist because of the ABSENCE of the Divine. The divine is always there but those who create the misery and the horrors have blocked the presence and reality of the divine.

[@andreawiedemann7665]

@@17thMustang because of the Lord gives everybody the freedom to choose the way of love, forgiveness and life. Life is there to learn and to grow in personsality and character everybody in his/her own speed and way. God doesn"t do good or bad. It is the way mankind is acting. Don't blame him for giving us the freedom to choose, which way to go. Because many of us find this way the ability to be good and to develop. Everybody has to die one day anyway - so "carpe diem" use your time carefully to learn and become a happy, consent person, who has the power to raise up others by music , art or any other kind of ability even just a friendly word. God will not save the World for us, we have to do it ourselves. But if you get in motion, God will grant you any kind of help you need, to make the world a better place.

[@johnanderson3700]

This piece gives voice to the silence of our tears even when they are mute and there are no sounds; this sound emerges from the heart; indeed the soul, and perhaps even the heart of God

[@JelMain]

The original setting, Guillaume Dufay's Cantus Firmus (ie Folk) mass L'Homme Armé, was written in the 1430s as support for the Papacy of Eugenius IV, who tried to unite the warring west in support of the Varna Crusade. Standing alongside Jan van Eyck's Mystic Lamb and Fountain of Life, they formed a quadrivium foundation for Jan van Ruusbroec's Spiritual Tabernacle, which has become a major inspiration for Gerardus Groot's Windesheim. The work itself is the seminal consolidation of the doctrine of the Eucharist, and Windesheim shaped it into the Devotio Moderna, as espoused by it's major graduates, Luther and Erasmus. I came on this researching the thinking behind the Order at the heart of the Eucharistic Renewal movement of the second half of the 19th Century, under Anna de Meeus, who attributed the vocation to her first chapel in Brussels, established by Eugenius as the physical heart of the doctrine. The ideation came into the hands of the Chief Theologian, Jean Gerson, for pre-publication approval, on the death of Ruusbroec, and he spotted an excellent argument to end the Papal Schism, one of the driving forces of the Hundred Years War. He referred it to his mentor, Pierre d'Ailly, but their motive was overtaken by current events, the Ottoman threat to Wallachia. The Voivode, Vlad Dracula (I kid you not) was releasing his PTSD on the locals, the Saxon residents of the lands surrounding the mouth of the Danube, modern Bulgaria and Romania, and they complained to the top of the feudal tree, the Holy Roman Emperor. He needed more support than he had to hand, which meant the strop between the Plantagenets and Valois we now call the Hundred Years War had to end, so the Papacy had to be freed from Valois control, and resume its historical supremacy, which Ruusbroec had so conveniently provided the case for. As a result, the Holy Roman Emperor convened the Papal Council under d'Ailly's chairmanship at Constance in 1414, and he made it clear from the start who was boss, having Jan Hus burned at the stake for jumping the gun. The French made it clear they weren't having it, and were promptly removed from the board in similarly brutal fashion, courtesy of the Holy Roman Empire's Burgundian vassals and their English allies, who pull the entire French fighting force, all four armies, into a trap known as Agincourt. Most surrendered and were executed, including half a dozen of d'Ailly's kin: but the Cardinal was delighted, he says so in a letter of congratulations to Henry. Green light all the way until the Italians stick their oar in. If this is a reset, then reset it all the way, the consolidation pope has to be old-school, drawn from the Roman famiglias. So d'Ailly picks the most decrepit of thew Papabili, Martin V, and it all goes wrong. The Papal nuns took one look at him, recognised lactose intolerance, and switched him to goats milk. The old boy perked up and lived to a very inconvenient old age, having fun following his own agenda and not that desired by the Establishment. d'Ailly didn't long outlive his success, but Windesheim was running. A Venetian graduate was the next Pope, and hit the ground running, with his Coronation Anthem written by Dufay, Ecclesie Militate, Church Take Arms! The Armed Man soon followed. Although d'Ailly wasn't around, another of the Compiegne branch was, Jeanne, who'd picked up the surname d'Arc along the way, and her story you know. It was the last thing the HRE needed, the call to arms went disregarded, nobody was going gallivanting into the East and the HRE went alone, with predictable consequences: Lombard Finance discredits Eugenius and takes the Papacy instead of war munitions income. One detail: both van Eyck and Dufay were on d'Ailly's staff at Constance. The major works on this are Professor Bernard Guenee's biography of d'Ailly in Beyond Church and State and Professor Craig Wright's thinking in The Maze and the Warrior. My work has been critically checked by Professor Charles Burnett, Professor Wright, and Till Holger Borchert, and I'm indebted to Professor Laura Smoller. The work was commissioned by the Belgian Supreme Court. I should also mention my in-laws have contacts in Sir Karl's village (Huw's funeral next week) and my wife and I were from the team which won the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize for our work in Peacemaking, including completing the Mahatma's unfinished business.
