The original group first met while rehearsing and performing at different opera venues globally. The band originates in the United Kingdom and was formed in 2002. The original five members included Tsakane and David, but were also Nick Garrett (bass-baritone), Geoff Sewell (tenor), and Jo Appleby (soprano). Nick left the band in 2005 shortly after the release of their album Defined for unexplained reasons. Geoff left in February 2006 right after his daughter was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and was replaced with Bruno. Jo Appleby was replaced by Lucy when she left in late 2006 to pursue a solo career.
Amici was then signed with Arista Records and came out with their first album in 2004, The Opera Band. The album quickly reached #74 in the Billboard 200 album charts and top 50 of the ARIA Australian album charts. It reached #2 on the Billboard Classical Crossover and Heatseeker charts, #1 on the ARIA Australian Classical album chart, and it also became top 5 on the UK Classical charts. In addition, it received a nomination for 'Album of the Year' at the Classical Brit Awards in 2004, where they also performed.
The latest album from Amici is Defined and was released in 2005. This album has reached top 5 of the Australian album charts.

Prayer in the Night
Amici Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La luna brilla
Lei mormora nel buio
Il nome d'un altro
Bramae passione, l'alma accende
Maundub-bio mi viene
I say another prayer in the night
Rottoil silenzio
Nel cor il desir agli angeli svela
L'amorsem bra forte
Ce'doal dolore
Maundubbio
Mi miene
I say another prayer in the night
Destatiamor, guardami ben
Parli di lui nei sogni tuoi
Al trove sei?
Che vedior su?
Vacuo viso l'ombradi me?
Cala la notte
La luna brilla lei
Mormora nel buio
Il nome d'un altro
We shared emotions
Found new horizons,
But now doubt pervades me
I say another prayer in the night.

It's a movie from the 70's - oops I just aged myself! But the music was Baroque - the beginning sounds like the opening of the movie. Ryan O'Neil and Marissa Berenson were in it. Thanks for your reply.
