A profile of the world’s most performed living composer. Mobbed by choristers the world over this programme reflects on Karl’s family upbringing from the picturesque Gower peninsular in Wales and the Swedish countryside to the great stages of the world. It re-traces Karl’s musical journey with Jazz-rock fusion band ‘Soft machine’,  composing for legendary television commercials, creating his own musical language ‘Adiemus', and the commissioning of the Armed Man: a Mass for Peace - which is now heralded as the new ‘Messiah’ by choristers and audiences alike.
