Released in 1998, "Imagined Oceans" is an album by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. This work was inspired by thirteen lunar mare for which the tracks are titled. The musical style is similar to Jenkins's Adiemus compositions and each track explores the meaning of its Latin name through various musical techniques. Unlike most of the Adiemus pieces, the lyrics for "Imagined Oceans" consist of syllables from the tracks' titles rather than invented text.
