-Released in [[1997]], '''''Adiemus II: Cantata Mundi''''' is the second [[album (music)|album]] by [[Wales|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 instrument|brass]]. The overall form of this album is a [[Cantata]] of fourteen movements alternating between longer 'cantus' pieces and brief '[[chorale]]s'.

-Several releases, including the [[United States]] release, of ''Cantata Mundi'' feature two bonus tracks, "Cantilena" and "Elegia", which are early musical sketches composed by Jenkins in preparation for this album.
-As is common with Adiemus albums, the cover art of releases in certain regions may be different. The cover of the [[United States]] release features a silhouetted persons reminiscent of the cover art for ''[[Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary]]'' in that region as well as the cover for ''[[Diamond Music]]''. [[Europe|European]] releases depict an insect hive in various shades of reds and yellows within an abstracted mechanical clock. A special edition release in Europe shows a winged figure ascending into the sky. Other releases use dolphins which are characteristic of Adiemus albums in some markets.
