Adiemus

Adiemus is composed and conducted by Karl Jenkins, and played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, with vocals by Miriam Stockley and Mary Carewe. The lyrics are an invented language, with "the text written phonetically with the words viewed as instrumental sound".
Their music has been used for a variety of musical scores for films and shows and probably is most widely recognised by the track 'Adiemus' from the Songs of Sanctuary album that also featured in the '95 Delta Airlines commercial.

Track Listing: Kayama - Radio Edit (4.12) Kayama - Double AA Mix (7.09) Kayama - Trance Mix (6.56) Kayama - Hip Loop Mix (6.55) Kayama - All or Nothing Mix (7.45)

Released 1995 on Emi Electrola. Performed by Adiemus. All tracks feature Miriam Stockley (vocals) and The London Philharmonic. Composed and orchestrated by Karl Jenkins. Programmed percussion arranged by Mike Ratledge. Produced by Jenkins and Ratledge. Additional remix and production by Double Aa Achim Oppermann & Achim Sobotta. Published in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Kayama is probably the most euphoric and uplifting track I've heard to date - its one of those powerful, spine tingling, hands-in-the-air tracks that once heard is never forgotten. Track 2, the Double AA mix, is a dance remix combining trancey beats with the powerful chants of the album version and has been a huge hit at Whirl-Y-Gig, a favourite that's played regularly. Released in 1995, complementing the single of Kayama, this remix single is very rare and virtually impossible to get hold of.
