Blessed are the peacemakers, that's how the music begins on this album. Karl Jenkins is one of the most successful composers of the moment. His earlier The Armed Man (A Mass For Peace) has been performed over a thousand times in twenty different countries since the turn of the millennium. There is also recognition from the more official side: Jenkin's resume does not lack honorary doctorates and
… fellowships. And that for a composer with a rather woolly commercial idiom, which seems to have been stolen from TV commercials and Hollywood soundtracks. Yet Jenkins does not do much different than what composers have always done: he uses standard templates and then gives them his own twist. An obvious question is how the standard and the individual should relate to each other. Maybe world peace will stand or fall somewhere with answering that question, just think about that ... Jenkin's most recent album, The Peacemakers, is another call to peace, this time through the testimonies of Jesus, Rumi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Francis of Assisi, Albert Schweitzer, the Dalai Lama, mother Theresa, Ghandi, etc .. Blessed are the idols, because they will form images, so you involuntarily think of such a procession of (not always undisputed) prominent figures. Perhaps the most sensible quote comes from Anne Frank: 'How wonderful it is that no one need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.' (HJ) this time through the testimonies of Jesus, Rumi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Francis of Assisi, Albert Schweitzer, the Dalai Lama, mother Theresa, Gandhi, etc ..
