Isn't this the Lexus commercial song
gharaviram
AMAZING! so great, powerful peaceful charming and any good feeling that can be felt by music
DeBeers? I don't like them. I don't like diamonds that much either, thanks to having to write a research paper on conflict diamonds.

But this song is kinda cool.

This was in a diamond commercial! I love it!
This is sampled in a rap song---On The Eve of War by Jedi Mind Tricks f/ GZA.
this is very relaxing for me :)
such a good song
angie476
Pretty good...but i always have an issue with bands making a living off covering songs.

Sippa-
Most classical groups play music by other composers. When someone plays Bach, do you consider it a cover song? I've been playing with various symphonic bands for 30 years and I've never written anything. I wouldn't say I'm covering classical pieces.
COOL.
love it
Yes...

Good, but a little repetitive.
Good song, weird icon.

Diamonds... That'll shut her up.... for a minute. -Ron White
Pretty good...but i always have an issue with bands making a living off covering songs.
my bro is always blasting a techno remix of this song or at least it sounds familir ._.
tedlish
A very moving piece. I love it!
seanmurphy15
would love to do a tango routine to this!
Audio excellence, this!!
Bond did this one up pretty well too.
Amznggrace: close but not quite - Jenkins wrote the theme *for* DeBeers, and later used it as the basis for the first movement of Palladio.
But yes, definitely not Glass.

I just can’t get enough of this piece - It’s brilliant!
this was definitely written by karl jenkins. Philip Glass is a minimalist composer. and this song is definitely NOT a minimalist piece. if it was it would be 20 minutes long
amznggrace
This is PALLADIO, written by the Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, who is published by Boosey & Hawkes, now owned by the Dutch music conglomerate Imagem. This piece was licensed by DeBeers for its iconic "A Diamond is Forever" campaign. This is definitely not Philip Glass.

One of my favorite new string quartets.
Is there piano sheet music for this piece?
man, is anyone here reminded of Pirates of the Carribean?
darthveda
Diamonds: She'll pretty much have to.
I was talking about the volume controls so chill out!!
i love this song but i think other commenters should refrain from using foul language because of children that have accounts.
This song makes me touch it
holy f**k, THAT'S where Rasp got Diamond Mind from, HAHAHHA!
mech.li.her
WOW
This reminds me of Resident Evil 4
Yes, the DeBeers diamonds commercial. It's like life puts in all these reminders that you're single in the week leading up to Valentine's Day.

We played this in my orchestra--i t was really fun!

A diamond is forever. De Beers
reminds my partner and I of Pirates of the Caribbean, but we think it might have been in some other movie or movies. any ideas?
I'm thinking it may have been Karl Jenkins rather than Philip Glass. Pandora, please always list the composer (and lyricist, when appropriate) - that should be easy to do with technology.
The original is composed by Philip Glass
billybobf
It's used in some jewelry commercials. . . i f you were buying your wife a diamond, you'd know.
Awesome song. I see differ commercial uses it often!
jerefsv
I first thought of one of the Bourne movies. Just something with intrigue and energy. I'd love to see the local symphony perform it.
railroadbaby
is it just me, or does this sound alot like Bond's "Bella Donna"?
This came up on Film Sound Tracks - what film was it used in? I do recognize it from the DeBeers commercial.
If it isn't the best song in all of music history.
The Palladio Suite is the first track on Karl Jenkins CD titled Diamond Music. It was used in an advertisemen t by the DeBeers company.
tworobsroot
I like the classical feel in the chord structure of this piece.
