Adiemus - Elegia

[cupojava1]

@clownface009 It is no language at all. It was done on purpose. It sounds sometimes Latin, sometimes Gaelic, sometimes African, but it is entirely made up.

[ma1988da]

別の世界に行ける気がする。



[yamba01]

why can't i find this on itunes? did they rename it on there? is there a way to request it?

[ahieatzman]

hypnotizing....

[J0nXTran]

feel like i'm at peace~

[MyRobertoHernandez]

Needs the "Swahili song" tag.

[arepules]

Woww.... Karl Jenkins, the best mixer in the World Music Bar: a bit of wonderful baroque, a bit of Hans Zimmer's African atmosphere, brilliant female vocals...... Shaken, not stirred! ..... The best medicine for tired ears :)

[ryerye1111]

@clownface009 It is a made up language that Karl Jenkins made up in order to have no bias in culture. If you listen to the music, it can really fit into any culture of music on our planet. A beautiful mix and understanding of how to touch everyone on our planet....

if you like this check out dreuxschwartz channel (on my friendslist).

[Wiseowl555]

Looks like four people accidently hit the dislike button.

[astrobalinko72]

If i die i want this song marveless

[1sorryham]

Beautiful! It has a little of what Enya sometimes shows, but it is distinctively different. I got the album "The Journey, the Best of Adiemus", and I just can't stop listening to it. I have to wait a while for the next three CD's of Adiemus to get here, but I am certain the wait will be worth it.

[manleni]

and Adiemus is not a band or some choir. Adiemus is a album title by the Karl Jenkins, welsh composer. Adiemus is sang by many choirs all over the world, including the one I was performing with.

[manleni]

actually this is language that doesn't exist. Karl Jenkins made up this language so it could be in harmony with a music, another words singing music. Its not Swahili, its made up...

[sintofg]

@manleni when I sang Adiemus when I was about 13 or so, I was told it was to represent the sound of instruments using your voice, forget the technical term for that if there is one but ya.

[manleni]

@sintofg thats what I said, but bad english. its exaclly "sound of instruments using voice". I meant that...

[belightloveinthenow]

i am reminded, with pure reverence and awe, of the beauty of life, death, rebirth; immortality. this song feels like home )O(

[cubanbach]

This sounds like an arrangement of something baroque...

[armorkillerz]

The title seems to be named after Elegy wheich is a mournful, melancholic or plaintive poem, especially a funeral song or a lament for the dead although it sonds more like horniring something rather that mourning it at least to me it does =)

[linkxg]

for crying out loud, stop putting Adiemus and Enya together, they have absolutely nothing to do with eachother Adiemus(as a choir/band) has been working with Karl Jenkins on this project, which, if I'm correct is of 4 CD's(Adiemus I, II, III, IV), both are good indeed, Enya and Adiemus too, but they really don't work together on anything

[artyzach]

@linkxg by the way, there are 5 CDs. Adiemus 1,2,3,4 and 5.

[wanderersrock268]

I've never heard of these guys, and I'm researching it, but I still can't find enough info...what's Enya and what does it have to do with this?

By the way, I absolutely LOVE all these songs. I'm listening to every one I can find!

[IvoryK2]

I guess it's one of ENYA for long time, sorry lol

[krestanol]

@IvoryK2

I think Enya have song called Elegie too, but this is sth different... But I love both :)

[zambrojr]

Together with "Song of Tears", my favorite Adiemus Song

[slavna31]

"Love me when I least deserve it because that's when I need it the most! Everybody's got somebody that they sing about, cry about, laugh about. It's true! For me it's you ." L:Y vmMH ICEBOY L:Y vm MH

[KoopaKonartist]

This is just a beautiful song. It's inspiring.

[yahraever]

grace a ce genre de musique, j'atteins un instant de plus prés le ciel de dieu.

[MythicDude]

I've never heard of these people before, but I love this!!

[stupidzimba]

By the way - If you love Adiemus, you will probably also LOVE Enya as well as The Gregorians...just to name 2

[PrincessNienna]

Actually, I already do love them. :) I have been listening to Enya since I was a child, she is definitely on of my favorite singers. And Gregorian is very good too.

[Oneironaut13]

omg yes, finally I have the lyrics and can sing along to this!!

[PrincessNienna]

Swahili.

[ettlz]

...yes, the Tawe Valley dialect.

[GOGETSOMECHEESE]

@PrincessNienna no, it isn't in any particular language. just syllables

[cumensu]

@PrincessNienna, lol it has been two years so I hope you have discovered by now that this is not Swahili though I won't deny that a lot of Karl Jenkins music is African inspired. Especially because he worked with Miriam Stockley. This is a language that he has created and uses throughout all of his music.

[TheWanderingCactus]

@cumensu sounds like he and yoko kanno should have a pow-wow ^^

how cool.

[333psychonaut]

@PrincessNienna I thought Karl Jenkins avoided using actual language on these works and instead invented syllables to use the voice as an instrument, do you know something i don't? or is the similarity to swahili just a coincidence?

[productshizzo]

@333psychonaut the similarity to Swahili is purely coincidental. The chorus sounds especially so, but it isn't.

[SpikeTFA]

Haha, you totally put the lyrics down...that's really funny

[Altanianbroadcasting]

Beautiful song, the national Hymm for the growing Nation of Altania!

[jizzyisme]

is this another one of their songs with just syllables and no real words?

[Caninna]

WHOA!!!! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Love it totally<3 <3 <3 So is Adiemus also a name of a group? Coz i thought it's just a name of a song...

[PrincessNienna]

Yes, it is. :) Adiemus is both the name of their group and the name of one of their most beautiful songs.

[TwicePea]

If you can't find music with "Adiemus", you can also look for Karl Jenkins.

[sintofg]

@Caninna

The song Adiemus ish Awesome indeed it's fun to sing :3 >.> occasionally have moments where it pops into my mind

[Orgeltrecker]

gibts noten davon?

[k1nd4k]

THX

[vladimirscc]

google adiemus rapidshare

[suffiice]

I love the dissonances here combined with the use of timbre

[BlinkinFirefly]

this music is so beautiful, its so earthy and soothing, love it

[splankytube]

I totally agree. It´s like this song carries you away on its wings.

Well done, Mr. Jenkins (composer) and of course also the brilliant singers and musicians.

I think, this world could need more music of that kind.

[GesineBarcelona]

My favorite song from Adiemus. It´s so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Helps me when everything goes wrong............

[o0oMIRAGEo0o]

you put the lyrics, awesome! It's in human.

[dutchnativeprincess]
