Music
The Acadia University Chorus, Kings Chorale, and Scotia Brass are presenting a joint performance of Karl Jenkins' "The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace".
This work is a powerful and compelling account of the descent into, and terrible consequences of, war. A special commission for the milennium by Britian's Royal Armouries, who stated, "What better way both to look back and reflect as we leave behind the most war-torn and destructive century in human history, and to look ahead with hope and commit ourselves to a new and more peaceful millennium."
Our concert date coincides with the Rememberance Day weekend, and was dedicated by the composer to the victims of the Kosovo crisis.
"The Armed Man" received its world première in April 2000 at London's Royal Albert Hall. "In a rapturous performance, by turns visceral and ethereal, the Mass was a firebomb of orchestral and human voices". We are most pleased to bring this work to Wolfville!
"Ring out the thousand wars of old
Ring in the thousand years of peace"
Alfred Lord Tennyson,1850
