About

In celebration of Sir Karl Jenkins’s 75th birthday and released to coincide with his birthday concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Decca releases 10 catalogue titles on CD.

This set of reissues completes the catalogue now on Decca, which includes the complete Adiemus series.

The Peacemakers is a choral work extolling peace, dedicated to the memory of all those, especially innocent civilians, who lost their lives during armed conflict.

Featuring texts from iconic figures that have shaped history including Gandhi, Martin Luther King, the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Anne Frank and Mother Teresa. These have been set alongside new text by Terry Waite CBE, English poets Shelley and Mallory as well as excerpts from the Old Testament, the Qur’an, the Persian mystic poet Rumi and the founder of the Bahá’í faith Bahá’u’lláh.

Originally released in 2012.
