Beschreibung
This is a powerful and compelling account of the descent into and terrible
consequences of war. Commissioned for the millennium by the Royal Armouries
and dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo crisis, this work is a
contemporary example of a mass based on the 15th-century French song LHomme
Armé (The Armed Man). The complete work sets sacred and secular texts
including Tennyson, Kipling, The Koran and the Hindu Mahàbharàta within the
framework of the Christian mass.
