‘…Karl Jenkins' Requiem sets the traditional Latin text of the Requiem mass, …interspersed with haiku "death" poems (sung in Japanese) whose delicate, epigrammatic texts provide a peaceful commentary on the liturgical words.
The result is a deeply moving expression of spirituality, whose musical tying together of different cultures provides a link that is highly appropriate to the modern world….’
Rosters
