Voice from the Past

Perhaps it's an overflow from all the contemplative stuff I've been reading lately, but yesterday I had this sudden urge for my old Adiemus CDs. I brought the two I possess to work and they've been going non-stop as a background sound-track to my duties ever since.

Adiemus uses voice as an instrument - words that sound like they could be an ancient language, but aren't, used to produce a musical sound. The voices are joined by a full orchestra. Sound boring? Not at all! Reminds me a bit of Enigma in a way.

It could be pretty good background music for meditation too I think. Especially as I know the music well enough not to be distracted by the wonderful harmonies and other bits. I may just give it a try this weekend. In the meantime it's great for relaxation and stress-prevention here in the office.
