#TuneTuesday is after #NonLexicalVocals, songs with a lyric you can't sensibly write down.

"Adiemus" - Karl Jenkins

"I didn’t know if this crossover of the European classical tradition with a vocal sound closer to ethnic and world music that I like so much would be successful."

It's gospel, and African, and Celtic music inspirations into a very different amalgam. The vocals are syllables plucked from the ether.

Sir Karl Jenkins Wants You to Know He Is Not Meghan Markle in Disguise

“Someone wrote that I was there to steal the crown jewels,” the 79-year-old Welsh composer said in a TikTok video. Sir, you are the crown jewels!

Such lovely music, #Adiemus. I accidentally found the CD when I was going through my moving boxes (haven't unpacked many of them) and have been playing it regularly for three days now. I think it's time I find the other ones too, there must be some 5 of them...

Although Karl Jenkins, the composer of this music, is British, the songs aren't in English. In fact, they're not in any language at all.

#^Adiemus - Songs of Sanctuary - Amate Adea



This is the seventh song from Karl Jenkins and Adiemus's first album, Songs of Sanctuary, released in 1995.
