Karl Jerkins - Adiemus (1995)

“Adiemus“ is a new age song written by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins and performed by Miriam Stockley with Mary Carewe as part of the Adiemus project. It was released on Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary in 1995. The main idea was to create a modern song using classical forms, such as rondo and ternary. The lyrics themselves have no meaning. The vocals are simply used as another instrument to make music and not to convey any message. The song, written in D minor, is a mix of African-tribal and Celtic-style melodies.
