music from... tales of a winged horse

i'd heard this song before. i was never quite sure where at first. it seemed that it was on the tv, perhaps one of the commercials of the earth communication office, but, finding their website and watching their psa's, the music wasn't there.

i'd also tried amazon searches, but with no idea who sung it, or the title, you can imagine how much like the proverbial needle-in-a-haystack search it was. a lyric search was equally fruitless, as the song had lyrics that were in some foreign language, and a phonetic rendition certainly couldn't find any matches on google (and i tried).

today, whimsically, while the mac was busy moving 24-odd gigs of edit data to the server, i launched itunes to see what kind of music there was on the network. interesting choices here and there. among which was a playlist entirely composed of sound effects.

and then, one of the shared libraries had a list of enya's songs, and there was an entry there that i'd never seen before (and i've a collection of most of her music).

adiemus - enya.

hmm. hit play. wow! found it!

after some googling, it turns out that it's not actually by enya: it was sung by miriam stockley and the adiemus singers; just that the song itself was included in an album called 'pure moods' together with some other new age music (enya inclusive).

...and this cd, apparently, is in the possession of the spinner of the place of the winged horse...

at any rate, that's the connection.

and here's the music itself, with lyrics following (see if you can sing along). hehehe.

enjoy!
