The session singer Miriam Stockley performed the vocal parts on the first four albums. Additional vocals were provided by Mary Carewe on all but Dances of Time, which saw the introduction of the Finnish Adiemus Singers (who would later reappear on Vocalise). Extra vocals and the chorus effects were created by overdubbing multitracked recordings of the singers (in some cases up to forty times) and varying the speed of the tape. Stockley was described by Jenkins as central to the Adiemus project due to her range and intonation, however for reasons that remain unclear she was not re-engaged for Vocalise.
The Songs of Sanctuary orchestra consisted of a string section augmented by various ethnic percussion instruments, with occasional further additions such as bells, a recorder and a quena. Mike Ratledge, with whom Jenkins had played in Soft Machine, contributed to the first album as well. Jenkins added brass and woodwind for Cantata Mundi, and continued to add more diverse instruments such as acoustic guitar on later albums. From Songs of Sanctuary to Dances of Time, the London Philharmonic Orchestra was used; Jenkins later formed his own Adiemus Orchestra to perform on The Eternal Knot recordings, returning to the LPO for Vocalise.

The lyrics to Adiemus's song "Avatar" are entirely in a made-up language, so they don't have a literal translation. However, the composition and arrangement of the music itself convey strong emotions through their driving rhythms, impassioned vocals, and lush instrumentation. The repeated phrases "Ariadiamus lade," "Arewanetue vate," and "Anemane kulerawe" stand out as particularly powerful, building to a crescendo in the final verse with added percussion and vocal layers.
Despite the lack of a clear meaning to the words, listeners can't help but feel moved by the intensity and beauty of the song. It's a testament to the power of music to transcend language and communicate directly to the heart.

To the person who made this video, you need an award. ... They seriously need to get the people who composed this song to write the songs for Avatar 2.

There is a new composer, though I don't know his name anymore.

К/ф ,,Аватар,, это сказка, но к этой сказке мы все стремимся. Я верю , что когда не буть у нас на планете будет что нибуть подобное. Мир , понимание, любовь и самое главное- , как говорили в фильме, Я ВИЖУ ТЕБЯ! Надо ге только любить себя, но и планету( землю) ,где ты живешь.

I agree! I watched a video on facebook that had this song as the background and I actually thought it came from Avatar
