    Music has always been the heart of my Christmas experience.

    My earliest Christmas memories are filled with the tinny sound of carols from the enchanting Switzer's windows on Grafton Street in the 1960s and the softly spoken Latin hymns in Whitefriars Street church. These sounds not only shaped my childhood but also became a core part of Anúna's identity. This album represents an endeavor to capture and share these treasured moments in sound.

    Anúna: A Christmas Selection is a carefully curated anthology that traces this musical journey. It's a blend of our earliest recordings and more recent interpretations, showcasing both rare and familiar melodies. Highlights include "Angelus ad Virginem" and "Peperit Virgo" from the Red Book of Ossory, alongside popular pieces such as my rendition of "Silent Night," initially performed by Chanticleer and Dawn Upshaw. The album also revisits childhood favourites like "The First Noel" and "Away in a Manger," which hold new significance for me as a parent.

    Some of the arrangements were originally crafted for "Christmas Memories," a PBS special we participated in back in 2008. The title track of the same name evokes the mixed emotions of returning home on Christmas Eve after touring the world, sometimes at the cost of missing Christmas Day. This record is very dear to me, capturing both personal nostalgia and artistic evolution. I hope it brings joy and a sense of shared experience to you and all the singers
