[Tracassin465]

[archerVSlucas]

Very good video :)

[WhenYouSayFreakyLove]

[Dragonfree97]

Anyone have a version with it trimmed to only the part after 2:19?

[Tracassin465]

Graveyard...Beautiful and sad..i love...

[ismaeel747]

I remember singing this along with other Adiemus songs this brings back memories of my parents not turning up on the night of the performance to watch it as they were too busy XD. Thanks so much for uploading this :')

[Reeny125]

I'm flying! :o)

[vicken28]

Adiemus

[KenjiNL]

Geen woorden voor

zoo mooi!!!

[cribbt1]

whoever doesnt't like this song is strange. it's such a beautiful song

[sapperhutch]

chorus at 4:47 is nice, rest of the song is just annoying

[meisme83]

we are doing this song at school. so hard

[jfdfilms]

@meisme83 im doing that song at school too, all the other pieces too!

[Dragonfree97]

sounds like it could have been on Avatar? epic in every way.

[AnnieReckshun]

5:18.....AH, shes running away with my car keys!

[voteforpigeon]

Part of the chanting was sampled in Solar Stone's song, "Seven Cities".

[Spooky272]

@voteforpigeon One of my favourite classic Trance tracks ever made =) 

[Bonami27]

Thank you SO much for uploading this!!!

[LittlePippyful]

I'm absolutely in love with this song. We're doing it as a performance item. Amazing that it's a made up language!

[MissAlectrona]

we're singing this in my choir at the moment and it sounds SO good!

[aussievalentines]

Same here!!!

AHHH :)

[boredness6789]

@aussievalentines Oh my gosh it's Ashton!!! haha I'm not surprised you looked at this video.

[aussievalentines]

@boredness6789 why would you be suprised!?! haha I look at EVERYTHING ON HERE!

[Bonami27]

@MissAlectrona Really?! Mine too, although we just had our end of year concert so not any more. I twas really good! :)

[TheDedirecteur]

in just one word

''wonderfull''

[violetphoenix13]

my school is using this and other song from this one CD for our next play in April.

[pulvaris]

the other give away that its sacred music is the title of the song. What do you think a titinabulum actually is? its not just a fancy name. Its a form of Sanctuary Bell, that a Christian Liturgical Instrument, hence the Bell at the begining of the track, the name is Roman Catholic in origin. It was an outside bell to warn the faithful of an Episcopal Approach, like the Sanctuary Bell warns the faithful the service is about to begin.

[pulvaris]

It probably has religious conitations in the mind of its composer, considering that he has writen further two settings of the Christian Mass, one of which being a Requiem. Modern Composers dont do that without having some sympathy towards Christianity. Nevermind the singer, its the composer who dictates meaning, and even if the words are meaningless, it sounds like tribal worship music that cant really be disputed

[KoopaKonartist]

Aethiest, Christian, everyone, it doesn't matter. It's beautiful music.

[berti2912]

It's very beautiful

[goblinrogers]

the beginning of this song makes me imagine myself being blind, then, jesus healing me and being able to see the world for the first time with my own eyes.

[yourforte]

Beautiful.

[noizereduction]

"Backing video to live performance" ? What live performance? Shitty ass live performance about dead people and graveyards? This is an insult to Adiemus.

[goblinrogers]

@noizereduction no offense, but if you like this music as i do, you should choose your words more wisely because I consider this music to be somewhat sacred regardless of the video

[noizereduction]

It's not "sacred" at all. Miriam Stockley and the London philharmonic made music. It's not a worship ceremony, so I don't need to watch my words, I'm a classical composer as well and I speak as a musician. We live in a free country and what you choose to worship is not my damn problem, so shut up. You can choose to worship leprechauns for all I care. I don't give a shit about what you think it's "sacred", and it's not my business.

[Greatwalk]

I agree, the songs fantastic, but it's music pure and simple.

[noizereduction]

Oh, and for your personal information, M Stockley (and probably most of the people involved in the writing and performance of this song) are atheists. If you think it's "sacred", well, too bad for you!

[koolkat307]

Wow, we'rew singing this for our speech day at skool, I love tha song :) The harmony is so pretty!!!

[Billy1232321]

haha. me too. santaluces marching band. lol

[poptartman27]

were playing this in marching band.hahaha

[dmcnuggets]

wait who is this becouse im playing this in marching band too Santaluces

[Gretchluver1]

Such a moving piece of music.

I will say though this is not a live performance. This is from the CD. They probably recorded it live though.

[PokeFan249]

Hello!

I am French and I am in a music school, and this evening, I made a concert, and sang me it ADIEMUS, these singings(songs) are really pleasant to sing! And then, I confirm: they are well and truly invented words! PS: I do not indeed speak about English, I use an on-line translator X_X.

I LOOOOVE THIS SONGS !!

[FletchCox]

[helenafalth]

This is awesome! I did this in a school choir like 10 years ago and I still get the chills when I hear it :-) It was such a great project :-)

[kdxox]

we did this whole song in chhoir at school... god it takes ages to learn all the made up words...

[AuberyMirkwood]

It is a made up language. Look it up. It is wonderful though.

[PippinRally]

I've sung this song and I can confirm the words feel wonderful to sing too because they just flow so easily. It's very easy to put passion into this one I found.

[ChihiroC]

We are going to performance Adiemus 1 in the November 2009 with our choir. This is one of my favourite songs. ^^

[winterose42]

love the pictures, too!

[b43xoit]

Fractal software?

[antares4242]

wow, look at that! I already knew (and loved) the song, but together with this dramatic video footage it's simply fantastic! How did you do that? are you a pilot?

[wizzardfish]

I wish, the fly through sequences were made with a program called Terragen, which is freaky awesome for that kind of thing.

[antares4242]

:) it surely is! If I can find some time... I'll definitely have to check that software out! Cheers!

[sharonshortieeee]

[sharonshortieeee]

it just AMAZING woah

[Taurus4165]

gahhh, i love this song. i don't think i can count the number of times i've come on youtube just to hear this song because itunes doesn't have it :(

[xXEmMaRuLeSXx]

Snag this with my school at vodafone hq with some disabled kids, and although the song bored me a bit, it sounded really good, especially the bit at the end when everyone sings different bits. xx

[framaulo]

Great simply great wonderful music and wonderful rendition. Thanks a lot

[whitgirl1]

i LOVE this. all the residents sung it on a music course and the energy and life we sung it with was amazing.

[mantrariba]

I Agree with you. You are very sensitiv. This song remember me the time when I was a Portuguese Soldier fighting in Mozambique.

[wizzardfish]

Technically it's not any language, the words are just there for the sounds they make.

[MarkusB401]

@wizzardfish but the title of the song is latin and means bell ;-)

[TokoLocoToko]
