Stabat Mater. Karl Jenkins

It is hard to find a musician who does not hear such famous works as "Palladio" for string orchestra or "Adiemus" for choir. Its author is Welsh composer and conductor Karl Jenkins.
His music is shocking and captivating without any chance of salvation. He is number one in the top 10 of the greatest composers of our time.*
He promotes multiculturalism in his music, has a recognizable style, close to a crossover with elements of ethno, jazz and chill-out.

"Stabat Mater"  was written by Jenkins in 2008. This work is characterized by a combination of folk motifs of the Middle East with Western-European music, the Gregorian chorale. That is why in the orchestra there are wind instruments and percussion instruments, and along with the canonical Latin text, Jenkins refers to fragments and translations in English, Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew.
