Which one is the Saami Chant on TSODE? And what are the other vocals?
Let’s start with the credits in the TSODE booklet, and add to that. Some of the Vocalists: The Tallis Scholars sing the Gregorian chant on Hibernaculum. The lyrics are invented words that sound Latin. The astronaut heard during In The Beginning is Bill Anders on the Apollo 8 quoting The Book Of Genesis whilst orbiting the Moon, Christmas 1968. His fellow astronauts were James Lovell and Frank Borman. The “Only Time Will Tell” sample is from a voice over on the 1960s American television series Lost In Space. The ship’s engines can clearly be heard in the background of the sample. Saami chant – (Ofelas-theme) composed and performed by Nils-Aslak Valkeapaa (the last 2 ‘a’s should have umlauts over them), for Ofelas (Pathfinder) Film. This song is in the genre Sami Joik (pronounced and maybe spelled Yoik). The man himself: The “Prayer For The Earth” is a recording of a song they sing in Lapland. Vahine Taihara – Tubuai Choir.
