Karl Jenkins "The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace" is the result of a special millennial commission from the Royal Armouries.  It include different texts within the usual Mass form, including Malory, Dryden, Swift, Tennyson, Kipling, The Koran and the Hindu Mahàbharàta

It is the latest in a six century old tradition of "Armed Man" masses that take the fifteenth century French song "L'Homme Armé" as their starting point.
