Karl Jenkins, Motets -- Agnus Dei (A Mas s for Peace). Polyphony possibly the best small professional chorus in the world . • Praca dedykowana PROF. JANOWI EKIEROWI [*].-- • PROF. JAN EKIER [*] • ---------- • Karl Jenkins is the UK's most popular contemporary composer, and one of Wales' most versatile and critically-acclaimed musicians. • Karl Jenkins was born in 1944 and was raised in Penclawdd, South West Wales. His father was a school teacher, organist and choir master, who taught Karl music theory and the piano. • While at Gowerton Grammar School, Karl played oboe in the National Youth Orchestra of Wales, before reading music at the University of Wales, Cardiff. He went on to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London. • Jenkins initially focused on playing jazz, with performances at Ronnie Scott's legendary club. He co-formed the group Nucleus, which won first prize at the 1970 Montreux Jazz Festival. Jenkins wrote the majority of Nucleus' first two albums, Elastic Rock and We'll Talk About It Later, both of which were dizzying explorations of jazz-rock fusion. Critical acclaim followed, though financial gains were harder to come by. • Jenkins and drummer John Marshall left the band in 1972 to join Mike Ratledge and Hugh Hopper in Canterbury prog band Soft Machine. In their time, the band would play venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall, the Proms and the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island. Jenkins went on to lead the band during various line-ups, until they disbanded in 1984. • Following Soft Machine, Jenkins started a media company with Mike Ratledge, writing jingles and music for adverts. Credits included BA, Renault, Volvo, De Beers, Tag Heuer and Pepsi. They also re-recorded I Heard It Through The Grapevine for Levi's famous advert starring Nick Kamen: • Advertising agencies would buy the use of a song, and then get someone like me to copy the original arrangement. The most famous one we did was the Levi's advertisement of the guy taking his jeans off in the laundrette. Everyone thought it was Marvin Gaye, but it was a Barbadian fellow called Tony Jackson. It was cheaper than buying the recording rights. Eventually, because it was basic forgery, people started suing. • He is perhaps best-known today for the Adiemus project. The 1994 album Adiemus: Songs Of Sanctuary, described by Jenkins as an extended choral-type work based on the European classical tradition, but where the vocal sound is more akin to 'ethnic' or 'world' music. • ------------------------------------ • -- Kościół franciszkański pw.
