Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

If you have seen a Delta Airlines television commercial that features an African-sounding, childlike choral chant in its soundtrack, you have experienced the title track from Songs of Sanctuary. Adiemus is largely the brainchild of former Soft Machine keyboardist Karl Jenkins, with participation from independent vocalist Miriam Stockley, a native of South Africa; the London Philharmonic Orchestra (which Jenkins conducts on this album) and others. The music of Adiemus will prompt inevitable comparisons to acts such as Dead Can Dance, Enigma and Deep Forest. In the album's liner notes, Jenkins describes the album as "an extended choral-type work based on the European classical tradition, but where the vocal sound is more akin to 'ethnic' or 'world' music." The music of Adiemus, Jenkins later explains, includes voices but not lyrics: "The text was written phonetically with the words viewed as instrumental sound, the idea being to maximise the melisma (an expressive vocal phrase) by removing the distraction, if one can call it that, of words." Ranging in mood from gently tribal to ecclesiastical, Adiemus succeeds in creating the impression of an enchanted global youth or female choir, yet one less forebodingly mysterious than any of the groups previously mentioned. Here you will find textures similar to the ethereal vocalese found in some of Mike Oldfield's more beatific works. The textures are largely uplifting, set within intelligent, classically influenced musical frameworks. --Terry Wood

5.0 out of 5 stars 不眠症の現代人のための合法的な睡眠薬はこれだ!!!!, 2003/1/7
By soundprofiler-All Music Guide- - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
このレビューの引用元: Songs of Sanctuary (CD)
元はプログレバンド=ソフトマシーンのメンツが現代人のための睡眠薬を作った。これは見事なまでに現代人が失った遠い記憶を連れ戻してくれる音楽である。森は破壊され動物達の住む場所がなくなった今、人間がえらそうなコンクリートジャングルの城主なのである。この音楽を聴くとそのようなえらそうな考えは無意味であると気付かせてくれる。これはヴァンゲリスの音楽のようにかなり壮大でかつ繊細であるのが特徴である。この音楽は現代人の苦悩を消去することができるおとぎ話なのである。永遠に癒されぬ病める魂達にとってこれは天からの福音なのだ。
