I did some reserch on the origional compoer of this song. Does anyone have any more information on it? It seems like every time I type in the song, the subject or the credits always say it's by Enya. Does anyone know why? Did she maybe perform the song at some point or what? Beautiful song though, my favorite.

Karl Jenkins is not Swedish, he is a born and bred Welshman from Penclawdd.Among his compositions he also wrote the inaugural music for the opening of the Wales Mellenium Centre, In Stones, These Horizons Sing.

Okay, lots of rubbish in these comments.
First, Adiemus, like any of the tracks on the Adiemus albums, are not in any language. The 'lyrics' are made from syllables and 'words' invented by Karl Jenkins, the composer. They are specifically designed to not distract attention from the pitch and timbre of the voice - it's supposed to enable the voice to act like an instrument, nothing more or less.
Enya did not write this track. Enya has never performed or recorded 'Adiemus' and it does not appear on any of her albums. The vocal artist is Miriam Stockley. The composer is a British composer called Karl Jenkins. The track did not appear on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack as is suggested by some.
Adiemus is originally the name of the album that Karl Jenkins wrote along the general theme of using the human voice merely as an instrument, with non-specific lyrics. He expanded this over further albums with Miriam Stockley providing the vocals for all except the fifth album, where the Finnish 'Adiemus Singers' were formed and recorded the vocals for the album.

Hello everyone... I am currentely serving in the United States Marine Corps in a CH-53E squadron and am in Djubouti, Africa in support of OEF. The first time I ever heard this song, it was the background music to a photo slide show. The pictures were taking by various people serving in the military during OIF. For all you civilians out there, (OEF= Operation Enduring Freedom) (OIF= Operation Iraqi Freedom). This song is definately one of my TOP favorites. For all of you who enjoy having your feelings and emotions stirred, you can find the video at this link... http://www.grouchymedia.com/other_videos/american_heroes/dow nload.cfm It was posted in 2004. The song, in concert with the photos, sends a chill up my spine and raises the hairs on my arms still to this day. I decided to register and post this message because I read the other messages posted here and thought that you would really enjoy the video.
SGT. Beck, Johnnie L.

Back again, and so soon! FOr those who wanted to know, here:
Adiemus, literally translated, means 'we will draw near'. Curiously enough, Karl Jenkins was unaware of the word's meaning when he created it. He believed it to be an invented word of his own imagination.
Now, years after the initial Adiemus project was launched, Karl has discovered that Adiemus has a meaning in Latin (with a slight variation in spelling). The irony does not escape him, especially since one of the core ideas in the Adiemus project involves using vocals singing an invented language.
As Karl puts it: "The text in Adiemus is written phonetically, with the words viewed as instrumental sound. The human voice is the oldest instrument and by removing the distraction of lyrics, we hope to create a sound that is universal and timeless. The knowledge that Adiemus has a meaning - 'we will draw near' invokes what I feel to be an appropriate concept of bringing people together.
Hope that helps some of you! I'll see if I can find anything else on it. :)

I absolutly luv Enya! Does anyone have the Pure Moods CD, it has quite a few of her songs and many more like them. I love this song. I think its close to latin, but its definitly a... made up language. Sorry for those who wanted a translation. It is based of an old language though, so it might be roughly translated. I'll look into it and post a comment later.

Wow, I was taught this song in the choir when I was eleven and totally loved it. I had no idea it was something other than a some weird song my teacher dug up, then it turns out it's an awesome soundtrack, with Enya to compliment it.
Thanks again Leo :)

Quick verification for all the questions flying around about this piece...
The lyrics are in a nonsensical language, although its closest relative is Latin. The idea is that you form your own interpretation
Enya did not write it, she only recorded it with her voice on an album.
The artist is not Adiemus, the piece entirely is called Adiemus. This song is the theme to an opus of 10 or 11 peices, collectively called Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary.
Karl Jenkins, a Swedish composer, wrote the song.
The first recording was sung by Miriam Stockley and performed by the London Philharmonic.
It really is a wonderful peice. Whoever submitted the lyrics did a good job with them. I myself sang the opus in a choir camp over the summer quite recently, and I fell in love with the piece. I will post all of the lyrics to the other movements under the artist Adiemus.

Oh and by the way: the song's not by Enya, it's by Adiemus (yes I know it's also the name of the song). Dunno why everyone thinks it's by Enya.

Well, this honestly looks more like a phonetic approximation of something...my guess, from the sound, would be Latin, though it may have Gaelic of some sort interwoven. I don't think this one's made up. A translation might be nice, though...
And, it is truly a lovely song. Very powerful.

These are all made-up languages, imitation languages, meant to sound like celtic, south african, welsh etc. I think it's amazing and I have never ever heard anything like it.
