This is a powerful and compelling account of the descent into war and its terrible consequences. Dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo conflict, this work is a contemporary example of a mass based on the 15th-century French song “L'homme armé.” Set within the framework of the Latin mass, The Armed Man is a major choral work which uses both sacred and secular texts.

        The Armed Man

        We only wanted to sing "God Shall Wipe Away All Tears", the last three pages of the Mass. The soprano requires a high range, but is doable with warm-up. We only have a dozen in our choir. I believe we can do some other parts of the Mass. That would...

        Nothing special

        I sang "The Armed Man" my senior year of college, and the only day when it actually came together was the night of the rehearsal with a 65 piece orchestra. The different movements sync oddly with each other, especially with the "call to battle," it was just an odd piece...
