    Anúna: Revelation | Album Review
    Siobhan Long

    Nine years on from their last CD release, and close to three decades since their founder, Michael McGlynn, first convened this choral group, Anúna exists, as Sliabh Luachra does, as much a state of mind as an entity.

    The group’s membership ebbs and flows, but McGlynn’s steely focus is ever-present. Revelation glories in a rich coalition of original material composed by McGlynn, alongside a beautiful early Christian text, Sanctus Santua, and, somehow fittingly, two divinely poised Japanese pieces whose sinuous lines allow the full choral potential of the group to shimmer.

    The opener, Mononoke Hime, reveals the deeper warp and weft of the ensemble. McGlynn’s writing has grown in confidence and subtlety, and the decision to use harmonica on Elegy (with text from the Book of Ecclesiasticus) adds to the richness of Anúna’s sound.

lyrics

From sweet Londonderry to fair London town
There is no better harbour on this coast can be found
Where the children do wander as they play along the shore
And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Coolmore

The first time that I met her, she passed me by.
The next time that I saw her, she bid me goodbye
But the third time that I met her, she grieved my heart sore
For she sailed down Lough Foyle and away from Coolmore.

To the north coast of America my love I'll go see,
It is there I know no one and no one knows me.
But if I do not find her I'll return no more
Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Coolmore.

"...enchanting sonic tapestry..."
"...a place where the heavens meet the horizon..."

Falling into no category easily, Anúna remain at the fringe of contemporary music after over a quarter of a century of life. Timeless, ancient and simultaneously relevant to this world. ... more
