Adiemus—Karl Jenkins. Although this is an
original work, the words, which simulate a tribal
language, give it a world-music feeling. In fact, the
chant-like character of the piece almost makes you
feel as though you are taking part in a tribal ritual.
A compelling work that has become popular in
festivals and regional choral activities.

soundscape on a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay,

This setting of one of Robert Frost's most well-
