THE ARMED MAN: A MASS FOR PEACE | TULSA CHORALE 4 PROGRAM NOTES “This mass is a work of great proportions in the sense that it brings cultures from around the world towards the message of peace, and I believe that music adds the emotions and the feelings that we re- ally want to express when it comes to various aspects of life. But the idea of expressing peace through music is a challenge and I think that Sir has done this very well. He has gathered poetry from various cultures, and he has put it together in the historic form of a Latin mass to make it a uni- versal statement. This work is a historic sweep of times that in the past that have known wars, known plagues, known pandemics. Tulsa Chorale wanted to bring this to Tulsa as we approach the commem- oration of the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre and look at peace through the lens of this piece of music.

I discovered this music when I was on sabbatical in England. While driving through the Cotswold, I heard a movement from this mass, and I had to pull over to the side of the road to listen to the conclu- sion. I stopped at the first town I came to, went into a music store and asked, ‘what was this piece of music I just listened to?’ It was that compelling to me. So when I began thinking about what would be appropriate and the right piece for this commemoration year, this is the piece that came to my mind.

The recording of The Armed Man was released by a major recording label the day after 9/11. Of all things in our lifetime, that event took us by surprise and terror. The Armed Man (A Mass for Peace) fits the commemoration very well in its ability to both focus on the horrors of war and horrors of this event, bringing reconciliation and the message of peace to the story as well.”

-Dr. Tim Sharp, Conductor and Artistic Director, Tulsa Chorale

“Music and arts are the things that endure throughout the ages. I believe in collaborations and not only are we helping to promote and support this beautiful piece of music that will be performed, but we also want to tell the story of how Tulsa is working through this age of COVID-19. We have document- ed through photos and video Tulsa Chorale’s rehearsal process of masked singers in small groups, spaced far apart for safety, and other singers participating in streamed rehearsals through Zoom. It has been unique for THSM to participate in something in the present with history in mind. As I like to say, ‘history helps us meet our future.’ This musical composition reminds us that war has been with us for a long time, but we need to work for peace.”

-Michelle Place, Executive Director, Tulsa Historical Society and Museum

The Mass, written by Welsh Sir Karl Jenkins, was first performed in 2000 by the London Philharmonic and is dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo conflict. The framework includes settings of the traditional Catholic Mass (, , and Benedictus). What makes this work distinc- tive are the lyrics drawn from a diversity of religions and cultures, including the Islamic call to prayer, The and the Mahabharata. Writers whose words appear in the work include Rudyard Kipling, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Sankichi Toge, who survived the Hiroshima bombing.

THE ARMED MAN: A MASS FOR PEACE | TULSA CHORALE 5 The piece is introduced by a marching drumbeat and the tune of a French folk song that was very popular in medieval times. This is a tune that people in the street knew and kings knew. It is a very infectious tune. Jenkins chose this to start the piece with for a very important reason: look how long the arts have been a part of our culture and how important arts are to every aspect of our culture, from kings down to peasants. The choir sings the folk song, which celebrates the man of arms; the armed man is to be feared, let every man arm himself with a coat of steel.

The 4th movement is entitled “Save Me from Bloody Men” with words taken from Psalms 56 and 59. Although the words are from ancient biblical text, one can imagine them expressed in 1921 by victims of the massacre: Be merciful unto me, O God. For man would swallow me up. He fighting daily oppresseth me. Mine enemies would daily swallow me up. For they be many that fight against me. O thou most high. Defend me from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. And save me from bloody men.

The 6th movement is entitled “Hymn Before Action” where by now, people are bracing themselves for war and preparing themselves for the ultimate sacrifice. Based on poetry by Rudyard Kipling, the lyrics begin with “The earth is full of anger” and ends with “Lord grant us strength to die!” We can only imagine the fear and anguish of those living in Greenwood as they hear the angry mob approaching.

The 7th movement is entitled “Charge”. Most of the text is a stanza from John Dryden’s Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day but is interrupted in the middle by the words “How blest is he who for his country dies”.

THE ARMED MAN: A MASS FOR PEACE | TULSA CHORALE 6 During WWI, these words became a sort of motto, referred to by the anti-war poet Wilfred Owen as ‘the old lie’. This piece has a brass section that brings the sounds of war to mind. Jenkins wrote very purposely the terror that comes out of war. The poetry speaks to some of the terror. There is a climactic moment in which the big war scene takes place. The chorus screams and then stops for 30 seconds, pausing because the composer is imitating the terrible quiet aftermath of a bombing. Greenwood was bombed during the massa- cre and we encourage you to contemplate the horror that rained down on Tulsa as a result.

The 8th movement is entitled “Angry Flames” with a setting of words by the Japanese poet Toge Sankici, reflecting on the effects of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on Aug 6, 1945. The stanza begins with “Pushing up through smoke from a world half darkened by overhanging cloud” and ends with “In a heap of embers that erupt and subside, hair rent, rigid in death, there smoulders a curse.” By the conclusion of the events in 2021, Greenwood lay in rubble and ashes. It is hard to imagine today that an area of our beautiful city looked the same as Japan in 1945, but pictures don’t lie. The painful lessons of 1921 should be learned and guide us towards a future where reconciliation and peace prevail.

The 9th movement is entitled “Torches”. This is a setting of part of the Hindu epic, the Mahabhara- ta, in which the fate of animals caught in the conflagration is described. The lyrics include“many were burning, others were burnt”, “everywhere bodies squirming on the ground”, and “they breathed their last as living torches”. We know that some of the victims in 1921 died from the fires and remain name- less. We honor them today and remember.

THE ARMED MAN: A MASS FOR PEACE | TULSA CHORALE 7 The 11th movement is entitled “Now the Guns Have Stopped” based on poetry by Guy Wilson, for- mer Master of the Armouries. The poem begins “Silent, silent, now the guns have stopped” and ends “Not cold, too soon, and in your grave. Alone.” The search for the unmarked victim graves is ongoing in several areas of Tulsa. Perhaps one day soon, the nameless will be named.

The Mass winds down with the serenely beautiful Benedictus followed by “Better is Peace (than always war)” and Tennyson’s words “Ring out the thousand wars of old, ring in the thousand years of peace”. The Mass ends, ultimately, on a higher plane with a hymn using words from the Book of Reve- lation. The brass and percussion are suddenly silent, and the hymn is sung unaccompanied. ‘God shall wipe away all tears, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, and there shall be no more pain.’

In spite of COVID-19 and the pandemic, Tulsa Chorale has soldiered on and is thrilled to be present- ing live choral music once again. Perseverance has paid off and our goal obtained. We are honored to be part of the 100th anniversary activities and hope that this performance shines a light on the next hundred years as time of healing, reconciliation, love and peace.

-Kendall Carpenter, Singer, Tulsa Chorale

THE ARMED MAN: A MASS FOR PEACE | TULSA CHORALE 10 8 – Angry Flames

Pushing up through smoke From a world half darkened By overhanging cloud, The shroud that mushroomed out And struck the dome in the sky, Black, red, blue, Dance in the air, Merge, Scatter glittering sparks

Already tower Over the whole city - Quivering like seaweed - The mass of flames spurts forward. Popping up in the dense smoke, Crawling out,

Wreathed in fire, Countless human beings

On all fours - In a heap of embers that erupt and subside, Hair rent, rigid in death, There smoulders a curse,

9 – Torches

The animals scattered in all directions, screaming terrible screams. Many were burning others were burnt. All were shattered and scattered mindlessly, their eyes bulging. Some hugged their sons, others their fathers and mothers, unable to let them go, and so they died. Others leapt up in their thousands, faces disfigured and were consumed by the fire. Everywhere were bodies squirming on the ground,

THE ARMED MAN: A MASS FOR PEACE | TULSA CHORALE 11 wings, eyes and paws all burning. They breathed their last as living torches.

Benedictus, Blessed is he Qui venit in nomine Domini: who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in excelsis. Hosanna in the highest.

The year is going; let him go.

Praise the Lord.
