Adiemus, literally translated, means 'we will draw near'. Curiously enough, Karl Jenkins was unaware of the word's meaning when he created it. He believed it to be an invented word of his own imagination.

Now, years after the initial Adiemus project was launched, Karl has discovered that Adiemus has a meaning in Latin (with a slight variation in spelling). The irony does not escape him, especially since one of the core ideas in the Adiemus project involves using vocals singing an invented language.

As Karl puts it: "The text in Adiemus is written phonetically, with the words viewed as instrumental sound. The human voice is the oldest instrument and by removing the distraction of lyrics, we hope to create a sound that is universal and timeless. The knowledge that Adiemus has a meaning - 'we will draw near' invokes what I feel to be an appropriate concept of bringing people together.

Is it weird for me to have thought this was sung by an African choir?

Why all the Enya comparisons? There is only one lady with the talent and vocal range to sing these songs and that is the inimitable Miriam Stockley. I implore anyone that thinks this singer is good - to check out Miriam's work with Carl Jenkins, but also to listen to her superb solo work. I think "Arcadia " is my favourite.

This song is so beautiful. My first experience with it was when I was five and it was the theme for a Bible series called "Testament"

Miriam Stockley is the original lead vocal of this song.  I don't know why people keep crediting Enya as the vocalist.
