I love this tune. It save my life one night when i was a truck driver. The burst of ...... energy almost at the end woke me up from driving whilst tired.. All involed in making this tune I love you all as I am still here caring for my family. You all are awesome.
There is nothing that touches the human being like this piece of music. I played it just about everyday after I lost my 39 year old son in 2021. It put something back into my soul.
There is nothing sadder than losing a child, my deepest sympathies.
How wonderful to have found comfort in this beautiful song by Jenkins. What a blessing to have souls so sensitive that they touch our soul.
My heartfelt condolences. May the Holy Spirit comfort you. Pray you see him some day in eternity ❤
My heart goes for you.Sorry for your lost and I wish I could help ease the pain.I'm sure he sees you always and loves you from heaven .

So sorry Val. My heart goes out to you 💙🙏
I lost my Grandmother in September 2017 and it has been so manic sorting out her affairs and getting her accounts settled that the last few months have been hectic and I have hardly had time to breath let alone process and grieve properly.
A few weeks ago during the initial weekend snow blizzards I happened to working out in High Wycombe / Marlow rural area navigating a picturesque country road with tall thin trees along each side and as the snow began to swirl around my vehicle this music started playing on Classic FM.
It was an ethereal moment as I pulled over to just sit in this English country lane and the snow gently falling around me occasionally being spiralled by gusty winds, and I wept so hard as all the sadness of her passing that had been walled up so I could function swept me away in memories of her.
A cathartic moment as you can imagine and I can't stop listening to this particular piece of music as a conduit to helping me to remember her by in both the sadness I feel at her passing but the love of being in her life.
So sorry for your loss. I must say though your beautiful story brings me to tears of joy. You somehow managed to bring the pain you were feeling yet the simple beauty that surrounds us every day that sometimes we miss. Thank you for sharing your intimate story.
Thank you for sharing this I live In Blewbury and can picture yourJourney bless and again thank you it is on my bucket list too I aam 82 thank you for sharing your personal deep deep feelings
My wife bought me the CD when it first came out and we saw it performed live on Worcester Cathedral about 5 years ago. We've played it at family funerals several times.
Prayers for you Val and your sad loss. I lost a beautiful brother to Covid in Jan '21. Hosanna in Excelsis.
I chose this piece of music to be played at the funeral of my mum and dad. I think it's beyond beautiful and showcases the amazing cello. I love this piece.
God put this song in the composers heart to see what he would do with it. Someday, we will hear an orchestra and choir of angels perform this work, all to the glory of our creator.
Amen!
I am compiling ideas for my own funeral, to save those left behind having to make decisions. This is high on the list.
Karl Jenkins has surely been touched by God. Such wonderful people enrich our lives, Beautiful Beautiful !!!!
As soon as I hear this I'll think of my lovely Mum who passed away in July 2017. She would have loved this sort of music and other music including Madame Butterfly, Maria Callas, Nat King Cole and opera music. I'm sure she is aware of me, what I'm up to and that I will come face to face with her again when I go. All of you reading this -when you die, there cannot be a 'nothing'. I'm sure you will be still aware of 'something' and meet family and friends who have already passed on.
Beautiful beautiful music, a solace to my heartbreak since losing my husband. From Susan, wife of Edward.
I hope this music gives you peace.
Check my 9 cellos arrangement of this Benedictus here on TH-cam. Thanks!
i hope you’re doing well susan. i’m sorry about your loss. this is one of my favourite songs and i’m really glad it brings you some sort of peace. may he rest in peace, as well.
This has to be one of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard. So touching.
Sure
I only wish our conductor would let us sing this most beautiful piece ever composed
I think you are right.
This emotional beautiful music brings me to tears as so touching. But the person coughing spoils this rendition.
Anti war inspired hymn piece the conflict Of man very poignant 😥
Heartrending! One of the most emotive works I've ever heard. Once heard, never forgotten.
First time I heard this today, im 55 ex forces seen some bad things in my time , n im sitting crying like a 5 year old how bloody amazing is this piece , to be able to reduce a big lump like me to a wreck .thank you Mr Jenkins Sir .
And, thank you.
It is a beautiful piece. And thank you, and may peace find you, when come the memories you wish to forget.
Yes... and thankyou ..Love.
There is an intimate story of a person who lost a loved one over a year ago in the comments. The sadness and emptiness she felt for her loss. But when you read what she experienced as she was driving and heard this song- her beautiful story brings me to tears of joy. She somehow managed to explain the pain she was feeling and the simple beauty of her surroundings and hearing this song that surrounds us every day that sometimes we miss. Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. It is God's gift that music can bridge the gap of finality and reality yet bring you peace.
We are so grateful to this Welsh musician and composer, allowing us the oportunity to his beautiful music
Whenever I see or hear something incredibly beautiful,- I can't help it,- tears well up in my eyes. Thank you Karl Jenkins.
Indeed.
Check my 9 cellos arrangement of this Benedictus here on TH-cam. Thanks!
Me too
Im moved by The Shepherds Farewell....
@@janoshorvath6676 You and me both, tissue in hand for the tears as I write.
This cannot be surpassed .....the most beautiful piece of music ever...
No.
Garry Coupland ....I totally 100% agree!!! The MOST exquisite piece of music EVER!
This is music for the soul,especially in this Covid-19 pandemic world
Check my 9 cellos arrangement of this Benedictus here on TH-cam. Thanks!
Beautiful and very recently played at the funeral of my beloved sister
One of the best performances of a Benedictus I have heard.
"At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."
I heard this for first time on Classic FM.
What can I say ......Sublime piece that tears at your soul
I had the honor of performing this whole mass in 2018 as part of a high school honors choir that was invited to join a local master chorus. This movement had me in tears both nights we performed it. Still my best choral experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.
Too moving to put into words , beyond words , spiritual as if written by God himself . It washes over me and I am enthralled and captivated with tears of joy . Beautiful . Yet these simple words of expression and appreciation are still not enough . Thank you .
You have done yourself justice I am incapable of expressing my joy at this incredible rendition.
I suffered as a child from being exposed to levels of ignorance ,brutality and bullying that I know realise that were perpetrated by people who were expected to protect me from.
But as a child of Woking class parents who rejected this type high fluting nonsense what can we expect?.
Well said ,my feelings as well
My sentiments totally, food for the soul. I also watched the angelic Watch Hayley Westenra, had me in floods of tears. Can't get enough of this. I feel as if I am being cleansed.
God bless you.
God keep you.
God have mercy on you.
God give you peace
I think this beautiful piece should be played all over Israel and Gaza right now. Peace to all of you!
i think not. ecclesiastes 3:7-8:
a time for war, and a time for peace.
now is the time for war.
As we are in Holy Week nothing brings the emotions together better than this beautiful song. It expresses the beauty, pain and the total human experience to another level- that with our Lord, in such a way that touches and revives and stirs our souls. Thank you for this incredible performance Mr Jenkins and the many performers that made it so special.
Always the Cello has been my favourite instrument.but not till I heard it playing Benedictus did I feel great love .
Makes me think of those who have gone before us.....such beautiful music.....if you can be anything in life be kind to each other.
My absolutely favourite piece of music, it feeds my soul.
The most heartbreaking, poignant beautiful music ever.brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
What a beautiful piece of music....
With this piece alone Mr Jenkins has risen into rarefy air that only the truly great composers breathe.
This is the most evocative music I have ever heard, as funeral celebrant I use it for every funeral and it is hard not to shed a tear when I hear it. I had the pleasure only a few weeks ago to soo Karl Jenkins perform this music accompanied by Manchester Choral Society - pure magic
You haven't heard much music if this is the most evocative music you've ever heard.
I'm a classically trained musician and I will tell you that this music is considered to be TERRIBLE by the music community. Cheesy, predictable, boring, cringe-worthy. Mozart would be so pissed off if he heard how terrible music has gotten.
Real classical music that is current is a reflection of what is happening in art and society, as well as a continuation of the trajectory that Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Schöenberg Cage, and so on.
This piece of music is for non-cerebral people.
They NAILED it! Well done on a beautiful rendition.
Love this so much, so beautiful (wish they could wipe off the coughing at the beginning)
I've listened to this for the past hour. Simply the most peaceful music I have ever heard. Brought tears every time.
...soothing and transcending to the human soul - The Benedictus - Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord....

Psalm 108
There are many beautiful pieces of music out there but this composition must be the very best ever written. Heart stopping and truly magnificent. Tears well up every time I hear it.
So sorry folks but once again I return to this sublimely moving score, yes tears do frequent me when I listen to this so so peaceful and emotive!, reminds me of the ones I have lost over the years!. Karl a big thank you, magnificent
Beautiful. Choir and orchestra both excellent.
How could you not like this music, absolutely fantastic, get a lump in my throat every time I hear this.
SO beautiful! Moves me to tears every time I hear it 🥺🥺🥺
We have the honour of having this guest cellist performing at our spring concert in Peterborough.
What is her name please?
Transcendentedly beautiful. This is why we listen to music - it's power to transport, to give in, to be inspired. Echoes of the sublime Arvo Part whose Spiegel im Spiegel has to be one of the finest contemporary compositions ever.
A very moving piece of music . And a favourite of a very special friend of mine. Brings me to tears every time i listen to it . Thank you AKS.
Why have I only just discovered this beautiful, amazing piece of music? I can feel the intensity, the power of it, through my keyboard as I type. Thank you Karl Jenkins. This will be added to my favourites.
It is incredible
Jenkin's beautifully sad music reverberates in the soul giving peace.
Simply one of the most sublime pieces of music ever.
Was very excited to find I share blood relatives to Sir Karl, as my Great Aunt married his Grandfather's brother. Definitely claiming him as family :)
Beautiful, powerful and emotive. I hope one day for our future generations we learn the lessons of history never to be repeated
This is my 7th wonder of the world.absolutely beautiful so soothing especially when I feel afraid or my soul feels weary.Thank you to all those gifted with such amazing gifts that we are able to enjoy.Bless you alllx
I was due at an appointment when I heard this on Classic Fm ..... I was late for that appointment ... outstanding
I was late to work once taking pictures of pigeons & the moon. The beautiful things in the world are worth cherishing & appreciating more than appointments and work. Good for you 😊
Just discovered this magnificent piece of music through a thoughtful friend. It's majestic!,
Who’s here in 2019? A beautiful song indeed!

Sends shivers down my spine……so so wonderful
This is one of the most beautiful piece of music well performed and congratulations to the cellist who makes this piece why oh why is the cellist not lit up as she is the most important person there?
An absolutely beautiful piece of music!
Heaven such a talent
Karl Jenkins is a living legend and he s Welsh, what more can you say except that the Welsh have a true passion for music, singing and harmony
never thought I cud listen to this kind of music for long but I was won over it's simply beautiful
Cuánta belleza.....Gracias!
Absolutely brilliant
Love this piece.
Glorious performance! The solo cello, orchestra, choir, trombones and of course the magnificent percussion
The young lady plays the Cello so beautifully like Jacqueline du Pre. I just love the way she plays. Excellent
How could anyone dislike this?
What a gorgeous cello is that!!
Karl Jenkins/Wales/Benedictus/.......and an outstanding cellist. The epitome of perfection!!!
Such a remarkably wonderful piece of music! So,so good For one's Soul.Many thanks and Kind regards Colyn.
Musical masterpiece. Nothing more to say.
Here am I once again tears abound so so beautiful it is on my bucket list, and has been for a long long time Thank you Karl for wringing my emotions out I feel my emotions running wild again thank you
In Portuguese (Brasil): Simplesmente Maravilhoso! Maravilhoso! Maravilhoso!
Bought this on a chillout album years ago. Didn't play if for ages until I heard it on a BBC documentary short about the WW1 missing memorial at the Menin Gate. Its beautiful but I can hardly bare to play it. Fills me with a real melancholy but its still an incredible piece of work.
Magnificent and heavenly. Simply enjoyed the music.
You just wonder where the inspiration comes from.. Touching lives in a unique way
Absolutely fantastic, so beautiful.
dont beg it for likes
Absolutely beautiful . . . that is all.
Here in 2019 as Christmas draws near. It's a great piece
Am l alone in thinking this so well depicts the time of deep sorrow after the crucifixion, the laying of our Lords body in the tomb, angels administering to him, then the resurrection (drums) followed by more angels. We performed a passion play and used this to great affect.
Beautiful music .
Heavenly how can KJ come up with such beauty that could make the strongest weep! Thank you KJ 🙏
Это ниспослано Свыше. Просто "на заказ" такое не придумаешь.
Amazing piece of music. Love it.
This Karl Jenkins writes such spectacular music it makes the hair on your arms back head stand upright and you just Want MORE and MORE
Sublime, a most haunting piece of music
Magnifique! Aspiration spirituelle très élevée.
Wonderful beautiful music for heart and soul!! Thank you very much for sharing such music to us!!❤❤❤❤❤😊
Good music is one of the languages of Heaven
once again I turn to this ! so so beautiful it is on my bucket list when my time is up thank you so much Karl brilliant!
I have listened to hardcore rave, Techno, house, garage, hip hop all my life. One early morning I heard this play, it must have been on chill fm or radio 2 I don't know. But it possessed my soul like no other peace of music that crossed my path. Majestic and haunting. Heartbreaking yet heart lifting.
Well it was blasting out of my car today and I had to have all the windows open so someone heard it😀
me too LOL
Just wait, someone will soon tell you to turn it off, for being ISLAMOPHOBIC, and offending the religion of peace and love!!!!
@@coonarick what the hell, calm down!
@@coonarick I'm not a big fan of religion either, any religion, but maybe you should read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Armed_Man
"In addition to extracts from the Ordinary of the Mass, the text incorporates words from other religious and historical sources, including the Islamic call to prayer, the Bible (e.g. the Psalms and Revelation), and the Mahabharata.".
The main reason I have a problem with religion: it's dogmatic and it separates, it creates division and hate instead of unification and love. "Religion is for people who're afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who've already been there." - Vine Deloria Jr.
But let's not talk about what divides us: let's talk about what unites us, like this beautiful piece of music.
@@TimMer1981 , Hi TimMer, as I said the possibility of someone calling this Islamophobic is quite real and you have made the point yourself, as Islam expressly forbids the use of music, art and any other form of artistic expression. I hope this clears up my comment.
Wonderful. This music speaks profoundly to myheart, mind and soul.
Mine too
So angelic, moving music and choir. I do love this performance
This is like a requiem. So beautiful am in bits😢
Classic FM brought me here.
Stunningly beautiful piece of music
Beautiful,moving,love it 😦
Marvellous. My sincere commiserations to those Tuberculosis sufferers in the audience who were able to get day release from the sanatorium to attend the concert.
