Only Men Aloud! - Benedictus

[@mbf998]

Heard this on Classic FM and kept missing who it was by. Karl Jenkins in an amazing composer, and his Armed Man Suite, especially Benedictus, is wonderful. I absolutely love it. Thank you, Karl, the Benedictus lifts my spirits. 👌

[@mbf998]

It's specular, and so moving. Have listened to much of the Armed Man, but this piece is a blessing.

Karl Jenkins einer der besten Komponisten die es derzeit gibt !!! Grüße aus Wien !!!!!

[@kazhilly]

Anyone who thinks they don’t like classical music should listen to this, absolutely bloody FANTASTIC, Wow!!!

[@sharonpreston4473]

I loved this piece of music from the first time I heard it on classic fm. Beautiful. It transports me to another galaxy

[@JacquesBos]

I still remember the first time I heard this work. I was listening to Classic FM on my way from Pretoria to Johannesburg. The melody captivated me instantly. I have since listened to many versions, many different arrangements. I truly believe this piece (work..) of art comes from the heavens above! BRAVO!

[@midotiger8838]

Agreed. This piece has stirred my soul many times. I use it to get myself to relax and turn from the mundane and think of a Higher Power. It calms me.

[@MOGGS1942]

" comes from the heavens above " !?!?. What do you mean ? Composed by a rain cloud? Bloody nonsense. It came from the composer.

Mr Karl Jenkins. .beautiful ,wonderful ,congratulations .I like your compositions thanks.from Los Ángeles Chile.(south america)

[@JanZ1998]

I’m Welch- good music my life❣️🎶Benediction by Jenkins is marvelous 🎶-add choir brings more Grace to the complete of it.

[@ralphberney7768]

Baritone and brass in heavenly communion: this is music of the profundest beauty, and more than that, it demonstrates that religious music remains inspiration for composition that stands proud by its own humble virtues, to compare with any, made alive by a superb choir and brass ensemble, not to forget the source of such creative genius, Karl Jenkins.

[@debrabolton9372]

Each time I hear this piece it brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful.

[@colleenbenedict2096]

yes, EVERY TIME!

[@valvandepeer5906]

I love this piece of music. Possibly my favourite ever. I'm not religious but it gets me every time I hear it.

[@mhairi3726]

Me too ❤

[@patriciawest6172]

This stunning piece is so welcome and in Queensland where the Welsh understanding of music is new! I feel privileged to have this opportunity to display it here. Inspirational Karl.

[@RecordIndex1951]

Look below for the comment 'this touches the soul' Yes this music certainly touches my soul, I believe it is the rhythm of the music, in harmony with our mind, with our soul, as our heart beats slows as we listen. If your lost, go back to church and sing your heart out and you will start healing. Your emotions may cry too, let that happen as it is also God looking for your soul, then finding you, God Bless.

[@jc2971]

There are simply no words for this. I felt as if I was listening to music which came straight from Heaven itself. Outstanding

[@tututfifa]

my same thoughts...

[@MOGGS1942]

ffs. What's wrong with you people ? It came from the composer.

[@MOGGS1942]

I sang tenor with a mixed choir in South Wales,and these tenor 's are seriously good. Wish I were singing with them. Terrific performance of a great work by Wales' newest Knight. Arise Sir Karl.

[@thegrapevine4897]

Such magic sound and tones! Impeccably beautiful

[@rogershirley2857]

Utterly out of this world. The most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. Karl Jenkins is a genius.

[@MultiMattman68]

This piece is captivating and makes me get very emotional and I cry like a baby

[@marazulization]

Beyond beautiful ! 💜👏

[@caramason56]

I’m so in love with this tune 😊❤️🎶😊❤️🎶

[@pleiadecca]

The Welsh certainly do seem to have a special music gene that sets them apart from the rest of us. And the world is a better place for it.

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

Very well put. I'd also add the Scots and the Irish to that. A fantastic musical palate that speaks to the soul.

[@pleiadecca]

Couldn't agree more.

It's got less what part of this Earth we were born on, but more to do with being connected to our Higher Power & being Spiritually aligned, much love & many blessings 🕉💝🙏 ...but I do love this Welsh male choir 😘

[@hesterbester863]

Bravo! Heavenly Music, absolutely stunning.

[@strictlyaesthetic9202]

One word.... PERFECTION.

[@canyoubelievethis220]

The tenors in this song are awesome. The blending is perfect. I would suggest also if you could listen and watch the "2 Cellos" play this. It is probably the most moving and awesome video I've ever seen in my life. If it doesn't bring tears, then might wanna get your tear ducts checked.

[@stephen48151]

Only Men Aloud and The brass band are brilliant Well done to all and special thanks to Karl Jenkins

[@MOGGS1942]

piss off with your god crap.

[@horacefeathers]

Heavenly music. The exquisite tones David Childs produces on the euphonium provide massive depth to the total mix of voices and brass. Makes the HOSANNAS that much more spectacular.

[@geoden]

I'm not a religious man but I love music and there's no doubt that much of religiously based music is beautiful.

So love this sang it with St nicks Choir Liverpool, love every bit of it, and Bennedictus. go in another world when I listen. xxxxx

[@TheLarryR1]

Do check out the 2cellos performance of this gorgeous music. Their interpretation is unbelievably and astoundingly beautiful. It touches the soul.

[@raymatthews7624]

Larry I agree. The Two Cellos is still the best so far.

[@lauraaa2222]

Omg yes! The strings are amazing and the emotion I feel when it gets to the point where they join together after the benedictus benedictuuuus....bit is just heartbreaking. I don't know why but it breaks my soul just for a second then I am overcome with so much joy from them. They are without a doubt the best musicians I have ever seen.

[@gwynethroberts3515]

@@lauraaa2222 There are no string instruments here, therefore no cellos either as some have mentioned!! This is a brass band regarded as the best in the world.

[@michaelewens6441]

@@gwynethroberts3515 she waas referring to the @ cellos...you should check out Hauser's (one of the 2 cellos)...simply stunning and 7 million other people agree

[@MelvilleG]

The most exalted performance of Benedictus by far. The choir and the brass - these sound divinely together.

[@antonygeorge4561]

Male voice choir is unique and the display is versatile with the Brass Band blend. God bless you all!

My fist time hearing this was when it was used as the widows and children of fallen servicemen and women entered the Royal Albert Hall for Remembrance Service about three years ago. So very moving.

Tenors are excellent with an awesome tonal quality. Probably the basses could add a little more with basso prof-undo support.

[@ChrisMum]

I first heard this piece of music whilst watching a Scottish "soap" River City. The music was played during an emotional episode and I had to find out what the music was......I think the version without the brass is actually more effective and spiritual. But all a matter of taste, I prefer strings in an full orchestral piece. But this is excellent too......have a look at the video on here by keef1212 and let me know which version you prefer.

[@ChrisMum]

Rob Mitchell Rob, I will give the 2Cellos version a listen when I get a minute. Will let you know what I think......I'm not keen on brass as a rule, I really prefer strings.

[@ChrisMum]

I've just listened to it and I agree it is fantastic....have you heard the Karl Jenkins version? Have a listen and let me know which one you prefer......

[@ThePepperh]

A musical genius, even if he does look like Captain Kangaroo. Wonder if he's heard the 2cellos do this.

a very simple song but, its hard to land high and low tones perfectly, bdw i sang tenor in mixed, and 1st tenor in TTBB..

Quia visitávit, et fécit redemptiónem plébis súæ. Et eréxit córnu salútis nóbis: in dómo Dávid púeri súi. Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, qui a sæculo sunt, prophetárum éius. Salútem ex inimícis nóstris, et de mánu ómnium qui odérunt nos: Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nóstris: et memorári testaménti súi sáncti. Iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham pátrem nóstrum, datúrum se nóbis: Ut sine timóre de mánu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti serviámus illi: in sanctitate et iustitia coram ipso omnibus diebus nostris. Et tu, puer, propheta Altissimi vocaberis: præibis enim ante faciem Domini parare vias eius, ad dandam scientiam salutis plebi eius in remissionem peccatorum eorum, per viscera misericordiæ Dei nostri, in quibus visitabit nos oriens ex alto, illuminare his, qui in tenebris et in umbra mortis sedent, ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
