mass Missa super l'homme armé (1968, revised 1971). American composer Mark Alburger includes settings of "L'homme armé" in the first (Ockeghem) and tenth (Bach) movements of his 1992 Deploration Passacaglias. The British composer Karl Jenkins continues a 600-year tradition with The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, written in 1999 to a commission from the Royal Armouries to mark the millennium. Jenkins does not use the tune as a cantus firmus, but simply has the choir sing it in the first and final movements. The neoclassical/neo-folk/martial Italian collective Camerata Mediolanense reworked the song in two slightly different versions: one featured in the album "Madrigali" (1998) and one – more extended – in the split-EP with Pavor Nocturnus called "L'Alfiere" (2001), later included as a bonus track in the 2013 re-issue of their album "Campo di Marte" (1995). Christopher Marshall wrote L'homme armé: Variations for Wind Ensemble in 2003. Mawkin:Causley reworked L'homme armé for a track under the same title on their 2009 album The Awkward Recruit (Navigator). South African composer David Earl uses the L'homme armé melody as the theme for the finale (theme and variations) in his clarinet concerto (2013). Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin wrote "Toccata on L'Homme Armé" on commission by the Van Cliburn Foundation for the Fifteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Every competitor was required to perform it in the preliminary stage of the competition. The song was the subject of a radio documentary, The Smash Hit of 1453, presented by Rainer Hersch and broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 10 April 2010. Throughout his work, "Seven Last Words of the Unarmed", Joel Thompson uses L'homme armé as a thematic motif. It was used in the video games Darklands and Pentiment.
