Adiemus/ædiˈeɪməs/ is a series of vocalise-style albums by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. It is also the title of the opening track called "Adiemus" on the first album in the series, Songs of Sanctuary.
Concept
Each Adiemus album is a collection of song-length pieces featuring harmonisedvocalmelody against an orchestra background. 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. Syllables rarely end in consonants, for example. In this respect it is similar to Japanese and several other languages. The core concept of Adiemus is that the voice should be allowed to function as nothing more than an instrument, an approach that was a trend in some New Age and World Music choral writing in the mid to late 1990s. (compare, for example Vangelis's score for the film 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992), or "Dogora", a symphonic suite by French composer Étienne Perruchon).
The song was used in a 1994 Delta Air Lines commercial directed by Hugh Hudson. Female vocals were recorded by Miriam Stockley and Mary Carewe with their vocal harmony tracks being multiplayed in the studio.
Recording
Adiemus was written in 1994 by Karl Jenkins, and it premiered in Delta Air Lines television commercial. An important contribution to the song was made by the British composer Mike Ratledge, who was, like Karl Jenkins, a former member of Soft Machine. Jenkins chose South African singer Miriam Stockley as a lead vocalist due to her wide range of intonation and Purley resident Mary Carewe for additional vocals. The London Philharmonic Orchestra also performed.
The main idea was to create a modern song using classical forms, such as rondo and ternary. The voice is used as another instrument to make music and not to convey any message through lyrics. The song is a mix of African-tribal and Celtic-style melodies. The song was written in D minor.
Released in 2001, Adiemus IV: The Eternal Knot is the fourth album by WelshcomposerKarl Jenkins as part of the Adiemus project. Inspired by Celtic history and mythology, this album served as the soundtrack to the S4C International documentary The Celts. In addition to rich string orchestrations and vocals borrowing from world musical styles common to Adiemus, Jenkins adds the accompaniment of ethnic instruments such as the Uilleann pipes and Carnyx.
Symphonic Adiemus, the new album from Karl Jenkins is available now: https://lnk.to/KJSAID
Sir Karl Jenkins presents Symphonic Adiemus, the new album, of epic proportions. Brand new recordings of the greatest moments from the Adiemus series features an extended orchestra of over 100, including over 20 layers of classical and ethnic percussion, and a choir of 80. With judicious use of multi-tracking, there are sometimes over 400 participants heard at any one time.
Symphonic Adiemus – the best of Karl Jenkins as you’ve never heard it before.

Adiemus - Adiemus [Enya]
I want to note that this song is really not from Enya but from group Adiemus! Internet is full of different opinions and that was the reason for wrong naming the video. For this mistake I'm sorry but the change is already too late and the magnificence of this song it makes no difference. So I decided to keep the video here. Thank you for your understanding.
