Karl Jenkins - Benedictus free for downloading

this is what a want to hear when i close my eyes for the last time and that my soul will fly to a special place .....

Once in a lifetime.........a masterpiece is written!

For those few minutes the pain flows away. My beautiful son passed away 5 months ago aged 25... nothing can or ever will heal this deep wound. I am not a religious woman.... but hearing this brings some comfort. Gone from us way too soon my sweetheart. I'm so proud of you always in my heart son. Mum xxxx

is this what people hear when they ascend to heaven? i think so.

I am an ICU nurse. I wish, when we withdraw care from a patient and I stand there as I did this week as a person passes beyond, I wish I could share this piece of music with the gathered family members. It plays in my head. I know suffering is ending and the person will be whole again. It allows me to leave the family to be with their loved one and to be able to square my thoughts as I care for my other patient in the other room. God bless you Karl Jenkins.

All your stories and comments just brought tears to my eyes. my heart and soul goes out to each and every one of you who have lost loved ones. my god put peace in your hearts and ease your pain. this song is absolutely amazing!

one of the stars is maybe my son , i lost him on a road accident with his motor bike in 2012 and i mis him dearly

One of my favourite pieces of music. Depending on my mood I find it soothing or completely and utterly heartbreaking. Absolute genius.

I had this played at my husband's funeral at his previous request. God knows why, but two years after the funeral, I just had to hear this piece again. I think of flying through space towards the Most Beautiful Destination. Though it brings tears to my eyes, it brings a certain peace as well.

It is my lovely Mum's funeral on Tuesday .She requested this to be played.What a beautiful choice.

Glory to God the Creator of Heaven and Earth

I first heard this on Classic FM and had to pull the car over. Quite simply sublime.

genius is not a strong enough word describing this powerful piece of music.

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Plato.

Can there be music that can possibly be more wonderful or as beautiful as this, Benedictus, it breaks my heart. Elliott, my son, I still love you and always will. Elliott you should Come and find me I will welcome you with open arms. When we were together our relationship was special, so do not let others destroy what we had, listen to your heart, listen to wisdom and let me see you again before it is too late. I am here for you, I love you with all my power and strength, and with all my soul. Your Dad. XX

"For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love." Carl Sagan

I want this to be played during Earth's final hours

one of the most beautiful sounds on earth,can't wait to hear the music in heaven

I've never heard of Karl Jenkins until now and omgoodness his music is ethereal and heavenly. Closer to our Lord it makes me feel. I hope this is what angels sound like when my time comes which I pray God willing will not be for a very long time xx

I find this piece of music absolutely absorbing....I can drift away into a world of my own....which is just what Karl Jenkins wanted. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written....the mans a genius....
