The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace

Last weekend, I played percussion on The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace by the Welsh composer, Karl Jenkins.   The performance took place at First United Methodist Church in Coppell, TX with Mark Andrew Pope conducting.   This multi-movement work required four percussionists and an array of instruments.   The tambourine part in the final movement required more that a bit of practice.  Here's a photo of the "ruggedly handsome" percussion section:
