Released in 1997, Adiemus II: Cantata Mundi is the second album by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins as part of the Adiemus project. Building on the style established in Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary, Jenkins broadens his musical approach to Cantata Mundi by including instrumentation and techniques from Eastern Europe, Arabia, and Asia. Compared to the earlier work, the orchestra is also expanded to include woodwinds and brass. The overall form of this album is a cantata of fourteen movements alternating between longer 'cantus' pieces and brief 'chorales'.

Cantata Mundi, the second album by Karl Jenkins’ neo-classical group Adiemus, is certainly an oddity. Structurally, it’s a concerto, split into several movements by juxtaposing longer pieces with snappy interludes; instrumentally, it’s a fusion of string orchestra and exotic world percussion, uniformly underpinned by the graceful choral vocalisations (performed in Jenkins’ fantastical language so as to emphasise sonic flow). As a result, Cantata Mundi more than lives up to its name, a fact which is both its biggest strength and its greatest weakness.
Let me defend this statement. Considered as a whole, the album is strong, the soft instrumentation gently seguing from one segment to another. It makes perfect accompaniment for revision, housework or anything else where your full attention is required elsewhere. I say this not because the music isn't strong enough to stand up on its own, but Cantata Mundi does lose steam once you start noticing its flaws. Specifically, the interludes are unnecessary interruptions, mere annoyances to split up the longer tracks. Expanded, they might have been interesting enough to warrant inclusion - as it stands, they simply serve to clog up your media player with underwritten material.
Still, with such delicious longer tracks, I can hardly remain angry at Cantata Mundi. The soothing woodwind touches on "Song of Tears"; the classical bombast of "Song of the Spirit"; the quirky vocalisations on "Song of the Trinity"; the frivolous instrumentation of "Song of the Odyssey"; and chorister Miriam Stockley's crystalline overdubs on "Song of Aoelus"... each cut appeals to the New Age aficianado in me. Granted, almost all of these cuts could be usefully snipped with the editorial scissors (the overlong handclapping of "Song of the Plains" springs to mind) and "Song of Invocation" does seem to drift a bit aimlessly, but any fan of Adiemus is going to be satisfied with this haul.
But this brings us to the other main flaw of the album: its homogeneity. Truth be told, you'll almost be forced to consider the album as a whole, rather than as the sum of its parts, since you'll be hard pressed to tell each track apart. Granted, this similarity gives Cantata Mundi an important stylistic unity essential when considering its artistic intentions, but it does make listening to it in its entirity (the very thing I said that brought out its strengths) somewhat tedious. This fact is only exacerbated by the numerous interludes, which are not only annoyingly interspersed (as mentioned above), but also seem to be six different-yet-identical Enya castoffs.
This homogeneity spreads further than merely the confines of the album. Cantata Mundi is remarkably similar to Adiemus' debut, Songs of Sanctuary (which is, in turn, incredibly similar to every other Adiemus album out there). Although its overall competence makes Cantata Mundi difficult to dislike, you'd probably be better served seeking out an Adiemus compilation, both for the fact that you'll get the equivalent of five Adiemus albums on one disc, but that such a collection will also give you all the tasty edits without the bearded baggage. Currently, Cantata Mundi is merely Songs of Sanctuary with some additional bells and whistles. Literally.
