Released in 2001, '''''Adiemus IV: The Eternal Knot''''' is the fourth [[album]] by [[Wales|Welsh]] [[composer]] [[Karl Jenkins]] as part of the [[Adiemus]] project. Inspired by [[Celt|Celtic]] history and mythology, this album served as the soundtrack to the [[S4C|S4C International]] documentary ''The Celts''. In additional to rich string orchestrations and vocals borrowing from world musical styles common to Adiemus, Jenkins adds the accompaniment of ethnic instruments such as the [[Uilleann pipes]].

==Alternate Versions==
The theme from "Salm O 'Dewi Sant'" is derived from "Psalm 27" of Jenkins's ''[[Dewi Sant]]''. The theme from "The Dagda" was borrowed from "Lacus Pereverantiae" from Jenkins's earlier work ''[[Imagined Oceans]]''. The theme for "Isle of the Mystic Lake" is that of "Palus Nebularum" also from ''Imagined Oceans''. "The Eternal Knot" went on to become the theme for "Benedictus" from Jenkins's [[mass (music)|mass]] [[The Armed Man]].

As is often the case with albums in the Adiemus project, releases in different regions may have different cover art. The cover [[Japan]]ese release of ''Adieums IV: The Eternal Knot'' Has gold text and designes, including a dolphin, over a green background whereas other releases have white text over a [[Celtic knot]] on a bluish-green background.
