Boosey & Hawkes Concert Band - Grade 4
Welsh composer Karl Jenkins dedicated his landmark mass The Armed Man to the victims of the 1998-1999 war in Kosovo. More recently it is been associated with remembrances of 9/11. The French Renaissance song “L'homme armé” serves as the basis for the first movement of the mass, beautifully adapted here for standard concert band instrumentation. With its relentless pulse and haunting strains, this is a dramatically emotional and riveting work!

' The Armed Man' is the most magnificent score I have had the pleasure of performing in and listening to.

Arranging this piece into the key of F had made it somewhat darker. I played this on ANZAC Day this year, and this piece (at 50) would've made sense to me if I wasn't the only trombone player at that gig. We had no Horns, too.

This feels like a grade 3 piece to me

Enjoyed the music. Read the description. Mindblown.

I can't say why, but this feels a bit tame compared to the original. Good music, though.

[@emanuelamasini3866]

[@laddyboy86]

Is there any chance of arrangements of other movements from the mass?
