About
Adiemus is a new age song written by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins and performed by Adiemus. It was officially released on “Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary” in 1995. The lyrics are not in any language and instead consist of syllables and “words” invented by Jenkins to match the music. He made up the word “Adiemus” and later learned that it roughly translates in Latin to “We will draw near.”
The song was used in a 1994 Delta Air Lines commercial directed by Hugh Hudson. The female vocals were recorded by Miriam Stockley and Mary Carewe with their vocal harmony tracks being multiplayed in the studio.
