This song... it can't get out of my head.
I walk through the living room and hum the tune - my husband is already thinking of methods to get revenge on me for spreading this song-infection on him too... But that's it, from last Friday words sounds like
Ariadiamus la-te ariadiamus da
Ari a natus la-te adua
A-ra-va-re-tu-e-va-te
A-ra-va-re-tu-e-va-te
A-ra-va-re-tu-e-va-te-la-te-a
are present in my mind, day and night. Awake or asleep.
...
One. Now you think I am out of my mind as these words don't mean anything. Consequence: you close this post.
Two. You think that it's fine so you continue with this post. Consequence: you too are in danger of being affected by this song.
The words indeed don't have meaning in any of the official languages people here on Hive could talk. This language is invented, by the composer of the saga of Adiemus albums, Sir Karl William Pamp Jenkins. The song that is stuck in my mind is the same named one, Adiemus, from the first album in this series, Songs of Sanctuary.
I heard it, a long time ago. However, I didn't know anything about it. Even I was not sure about the composer/performer. If I had to guess I would say something like Enya, Enigma, or music that was influenced by Vangelis...
The eye-opening event happened last Friday.
Between lessons, Pilates, grocery, lunch, playing at a wedding ceremony you saw in my last post, and more lessons I could also attend the graduation ceremony of my son and the concert they gave for that occasion (playing in the orchestra of his conservatory, for the last time in the role of the concertmaster in this setting...)
I hope you can see the names of the pieces they played. It was interesting as they combined the string orchestra with the choir and later with the brass band. My favourite of all... you already know. Adiemus.
It was my favourite to that level that despite the need to practice other things this week (for three different performances that will take place) I found the scores and played & recorded it this morning. š
It is quite repetitive, you can say. And it is, as it is that style of this music, new-age. There are fewer different details so you can stay focused on one rhythmical pattern or just a few chords. It sounds really cool when played by a symphonic orchestra because of the dynamic effects (piano as an instrument is a bit limited in it, at least a digital piano and if I don't add additional effects).
If you still read these lines it means that you have chosen the number two and continued with the post. I hope you don't regret it. You still have a chance to avoid the part of the "song infection"! š
But if you press the play button of the video, then there is a risk that you will hum the tune too for the next two days.
