This advert was music to my ears as a kid in 1996 when the advert first came out. 24 years later it still is, for years and years I've been searching for this song, a week before Christmas 2019 this finally hit me, the song is composed by Karl Jenkins, and it's by Adiemus-Cantilena, the 90's were the best years for me, growing up with this advert, watching Grange Hill and Byker Grove, Zzzap and Art Attack, but yeah this advert was and still is one of my favourites that I will always remember for years to come.
I was wondering what the advert was called for ages until now; Cheltenham & Gloucester. I knew that it was an Adiemus song because in one of the other songs, I recognised the same vocals, and now I know that it's Cantilina....
God i must of been about 10? 11? 12? When i first heard this song on that Cheltenham & Gloucester advert. Lol i was mesmerised by that advert and the song just captivated me in a way that just gave a peaceful feeling and a big feeling of love and compassion for everything.
yeah, i think karl jenkins is one of the best composers working today, and adiemus are some of the best singers. put them together...magic and wonder!!
Searching for years too. Being a lover of mermaids/Atlantis an basically anything tropical or mysterious, and had dreams of an underwater house. This song and the Ad really took my heart so amazed to have finally found the song!
@Banished666 i had to search for the bradford and bingley commercial lol, and someone had done research on the commercial and posted the name of the song lol
i dont know if its also by Karl Jenkins, but the 1:22 to 1:35 bit aswell as the 2:58 bit onwards sound like quite a popular song, yes it has been used in adverts lol, but i've also seen it performed by an african choir before, anyone know which song i'm talking about, if anyone has any ideas please tell, one will be most thankful =)
I’m transported back to river island Newport in 199something kicking the displays waiting for my sister to buy a top and wanting to go to Poundland to get a bag of green plastic soldiers.

It's remarkable how a 20-year-old advert can leave such a profound memory in viewer's minds.
Yes, it's almost like they're trying to sell you something.
I'm here for the same reason.
wow, this music brings back memories from seeing the Cheltenham and Gloucester 'pearl diver' ad when i was younger

This is my favourite and I would like to see the singers at a concert singing this... Very Isle / Island of Flame!
remember this from the little boy who drops his pearl in the ocean
The Cheltenham & Gloucester advert?
@@sambee8982 yup.
I had a crush on him as a little girl! 😅
Welcome to the party pal
thumbs up if that kid in the pearl advert brought you here
Oh my god. Same.
I was listening to this before I was born
Probably the most recognised music in uk tv adverts.
Not much that makes me proud about being Welsh but the fact that the guy is from the other side of the estuary to me does!

I've been trying to find this version for ages, hampered by not knowing the original, mike
I'm in tears........................
Get a grip
Adiemus forever
