Karl Jenkins

Karl Jenkins: One World

£13.99

Released: 7th July 2023. 'One World' by Sir Karl Jenkins, one of the world's most-performed living composers, is commissioned by the World Choir for Peace and the World Orchestra for Peace. The choir is joined in this new recording by the World Orchestra for Peace, co-founded by Sir Georg Solti and Charles Kaye in 1995 to reaffirm 'the unique strength of music as an ambassador for peace'. These illustrious ensembles are joined for two movements by the Stay At Home Choir, a global choral community formed in the UK during the first Covid-19 lockdown to bring singers together, digitally, during a time of isolation. The music is scored in Karl's inimitable style that resists categorisation. To create this vision, he takes inspiration from texts as diverse as the Bible, the Hindu Gayatri Mantra, the poetry of the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, African American abolitionist, and suffragist poet Frances Harper (c.1850) and Lebanese American writer, poet and artist Khalil Gibran.
