Hot off the press!

The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, by Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins, was voted the most popular work in the Classic FM Hall of Fame 2026.

Nearly 90,000 public votes were cast in this year's chart, with the new number one revealed by presenter Dan Walker on Easter Monday.

Dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo War, the 82-year-old's choral work from 2000 reflects on the devastation of conflict while expressing hope for peace.

The Armed Man was originally commissioned in 1998 by various bodies as a mass to mark the millennium, said Sir Karl, adding that it had been performed "globally" 4,000 times since 2000.

Over the years, Sir Karl said many people have told him how the piece has supported them through difficult times.

"It's still as relevant today, the message, as it was 25 years ago," he said. "It's moved a lot of people.

We're looking forward to performing this moving choral work this coming Saturday in Leamington Spa. We hope to see you there.

Sir Karl Jenkins is the first living composer to top the Classic FM Hall of Fame with mass for peace.
