!Adiemus, is Brilliant
Quoting Wikipedia:
"Adiemus is the title of a series of albums by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins.
Each Adiemus album is a collection of song-length pieces featuring harmonized vocal melody against an orchestral background. There are no lyrics, instead the vocalists sing syllables and 'words' invented by Jenkins.
The language of Adiemus is carefully stylised so as not to distract the listener's attention from the pitch and timbre of the voice—for example, syllables ending in consonants are rare, 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.
The word Adiemus itself resembles a Latin word meaning 'We will approach' (literally, "we shall submit a cause to a referee"); Jenkins claims to have been unaware of this."
And last but NOT in the least,
ENYA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!!
