Adiemus

Composer, arranger, keyboardist and woodwinds player Karl Jenkins fell in with the London jazz scene of the late '60s while studying at the Royal Academy of Music. Prior to spending over a decade in the last incarnations of Soft Machine, he spent time in a number of jazz groups, along with the Graham Collier Band and Nucleus; he also leant his services to recording sessions and tours for PJ Proby and Scott Walker.

Along with John Marshall, the Welshman navigated Soft Machine through most of the '70s, which saw the group developing their sound significantly away from their earlier years. After the band decided to call it quits, Jenkins turned to film, TV, theater, and orchestra work. In the '90s, he spearheaded Adiemus, a studio project that released a series acclaimed ethno-classical discs. He has recorded under his own name as well, including 1998's Imagined Oceans. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

don't read this because it actually don't work........ . . .
"There are no lyrics as such: instead the vocalists sing syllables and 'words' invented by Jenkins. However, rather than creating musical interest from patterns of phonemes (as in scat singing, or in numerous classical and crossover compositions ) , the language of Adiemus is carefully stylised so as not to distract the listener's attention from the pitch and timbre of the voice—for example, syllables ending in consonants are rare, in this respect it is similar to Japanese and several other langua

OK, the first minute and 45-50 seconds are sung using the do re mi fa sol la ti do scale markings (think Mary Poppins). After that, I am not certain of the language. The scale markings pick up again from about 4:56-5:20.
OH MY GOSH! MIRIAM STOCKLY DID THIS!??? O: SHE IS AWESOME! MY GRANDMA BOUGHT AN ALBUM WITH THE SONG "PERFECT DAY" ON IT AND WE BLARE THE SONGS IN THE CAR. :D
Well, I'm wondering what Adiemus means? As nearly as I can figure something in the area of farewell. DMB

Who would've thought a song without words could be so wordy... :) but i love it :)
Miriam Stockley is a British singer. She was born in Johannesburg , South Africa, and her work is influenced by the African music in her home country.
Beautiful piece of music. Have I heard this on the Survivor television series, as the opening theme?

I love this song when I feel like I need a bit of creativity in my work!
This isn't in a language. Karl Jenkins writes in vocalese

A few years ago, Delta Airlines had this as one of their arrival songs on their aircraft. It always made me feel great to hear it, not only because it was pretty, but also because I had arrived at my destination
If you enjoy this, check out Dead Can Dance.

What is the language sung?
Ah! 'Ello Mate!
This definitely has a power to it. One cannot help but let his or her mind wander throughout the course of the song. It honestly made me think I was attending a meeting with some king or queen in their energetic citadel. This was very awesome. Love it.

Chills through my body everytime... especially when it hits some of those melodic highs... WOW... the intrinsic mix of procussion that weaves through like a ripple on a lake.... hair raising - its not just an audio track, it really is a full body experiance.. . . to me.....
