Karl Jenkins' instantly recognisable song is the theme from Songs Of Sanctuary but is more widely identified as the backdrop to the Delta Airlines television commercial. Composed for female Voices this version includes a Piano accompaniment primarily for rehearsal use and an optional Recorder part.

Songs Of Sanctuary is an extended choral-type work based on the European classical tradition but where the vocal sound is more akin to 'ethnic' or 'world' music. The idea was to have some thematic unity within the work as a whole rather than a collection of disparate pieces in song form. This vocal score which includes the optional recorder part in the score is primarily intended for rehearsal use. However it is possible to make a convincing performance with voices and piano.
