Belinda Sykes (vocal) & Jurguta Adamonyte (mezzo-soprano) EMO Ensemble , Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Chorus, Pasi Hyökki Stabat Mater is a thirteenth century Roman Catholic sequence attributed to Jacopone da Todi. It has been set to music by many composers, among them Haydn, Dvorak, Vivaldi, Rossini, Pergolesi, Stanford, Gounod, Penderecki, Poulenc, Szymanowski, Alessandro Scarlatti (1724), Domenico Scarlatti (1715), Pedro de Escobar, Arvo Pärt and Giuseppe Verdi. Its title is an abbreviation of the first line, Stabat Mater Dolorosa ("The sorrowful mother was standing"). The hymn, one of the most powerful and immediate of medieval poems, meditates on the suffering of Mary, Jesus Christ's mother, during his crucifixion.
Karl's setting extends this to a universal depiction of grief by using ancient text from the area (Holy Land/Middle East) that will be sung in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic (the lingua franca of the period) and a contemporary poem, sung in English. The orchestration includes instruments indigenous to the area, percussion such as the darbuka & riq and the woodwind duduk. |

Mae McKenna and Belinda Sykes. London Symphony Orchesta, Karl Jenkins River Queen is the story of a young woman's search for identity and love; a woman torn between the two worlds of white colonial New Zealand and native Maori culture. Directed by New Zealander Vincent Ward it stars Samantha Morton, Kiefer Sutherland, Stephen Rea, Cliff Curtis and Temuera Morrison. The film is released in the UK in June 2007 “Essentially, the music reflects the two cultures that pervade the film; the native [Maori] and the British, which in this instance is predominantly Irish. We've tried to stay away from the obvious 'haka' route making the native-sound more universally tribal and indefinable. The Irish element has a strong Celtic feel but I have endeavoured to use musical leit motifs [fragments of theme] depicting differing characters and ideas, from both sides of the divide, interweave, sometimes in the same cue” Karl Jenkins | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Kiri Sings KarlSongs of mystery & enchantment composed and arranged by Karl Jenkins
Dame Kiri’s voice is multi-tracked. ‘Nine versions of me,’ explains the New Zealand superstar. ‘We call it the Kiri Chorus!’ Jenkins found the results fascinating. ‘We’ve laid her upon herself and the sound’s quite magical. It’s different to anything else. It’s not done in a pop way where people very often add vibrato and make it match so that the voice is pulsing on the wave. She just sings it – and she sings it how she feels it. Against that, when we need a more kind of tribal earthy kind of element, I’ve used some Adiemus style voices.’ | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
