The Armed Man is the name of a Mass by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, subtitled “A Mass for Peace”. The piece was commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds for the Millennium celebrations and was initially dedicated to victims of the Kosovo crisis. Like Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem before it, it is essentially an anti-war piece. Also like Britten’s work, this piece is based on the Christian Mass which he combines with other sources, principally the fifteenth century folk song L’homme armé in the first and last movements.

The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace was premiered at The Royal Albert Hall, London on April 25 2000, performed by The National Youth Choir of Great Britain, National Musicians Symphony Orchestra, Julian Lloyd Webber and conducted by Grant Llewellyn. The CD was recorded at Air Studios during summer of 2000 by The London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Karl Jenkins and The National Youth Choir of Great Britain conducted by Mike Brewer.
