Composer Karl Jenkins may not save the world, but it won't be for lack of trying. Jenkins gained wide publicity in the late '90s during the Balkan War with The Armed Man, a vast structure expanding upon the Renaissance tune of the same name ("L'homme armé). Here, in a choral work commissioned by World Choir for Peace director Nicol Matt, he returns to the peace theme, joined by top-flight soloists and on a couple of numbers by the Stay at Home Choir birthed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Technically, this is one of Jenkins' stronger compositions. He draws on a true miscellany of texts, including the Bible, the Hindu Gayatri Mantra, the poetry of the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, African American abolitionist and suffragist poet Frances Harper (c.1850), and Lebanese American writer, poet, and artist Kahlil Gibran, with languages that include Japanese, Latin, English, and Hebrew. The latter appears in a Jewish prayer called Tikkun Olam ("Repair the World") that recurs instrumentally later in the composition. Jenkins knits these diverse materials together into a reasonably coherent whole, and if that isn't at least a somewhat encouraging prospect for world peace, it at least testifies to the possibility of communication. Matt keeps good control over his varied forces, and beyond Jenkins' contribution, this is a landmark for the World Orchestra of Peace, which was founded by Sir Georg Solti in 1995. The album made classical best-seller lists in the summer of 2023.
