ADIEMUS

The groundbreaking debut Adiemus album, blending classical, world music and choral influences into a unique and highly distinctive listening experience.

Created by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins, Songs Of Sanctuary became an international success through its innovative combination of orchestral arrangements, percussion and wordless vocals. The album's atmospheric sound helped introduce Adiemus to a worldwide audience and established the project as one of the most successful crossover recordings of its era.

Rather than using traditional lyrics, the music employs specially created vocal sounds and syllables, allowing the voice to function as an instrument alongside the orchestra. The result is a rich and evocative collection of compositions that transcends language and cultural boundaries.

This limited edition release includes additional tracks and an expanded booklet, designed by Russell Mills, making it an attractive edition for collectors and admirers of Karl Jenkins' work.

An excellent addition for fans of Adiemus, contemporary classical music, world music and innovative vocal recordings.

The acclaimed debut Adiemus recording in a special limited edition featuring bonus material and booklet.
