director and composer Michael McGlynn is one of Ireland's best-known composers. Anuna have released nine albums since 1993 almost exclusively featuring Michael's arrangements and original works. His choral music is performed world-wide including his piece "Dulaman", which has been recorded many times. He has written instrumental and orchestral music, including "Visions" for saxophone and piano " Silver River" for orchestra and oboe and "Behind the Closed Eye", originally premiered and recorded by The Ulster Orchestra and Anuna.
Michael's musical language is a blend of modal and classical, and his harmonic language, while accessible, is often unexpected. Although much of his music uses avant garde and contemporary compositional styles, he sits uncomfortably in any musical camp, veering from melodic and powerful rhythmic music to microtonal experimental pieces.

Michael, we amusedly discovered two pieces from the "St. Francis" at the RTE-broadcast and we are just uncountably happy. But are there some other records of this cantata?
Hi Michael! I just got my Santus CD and it is wonderful, brilliant. Things here are fine, though I'm still getting myself back into life and trying to be less tired. I hope you are doing well. Susan
Hello, Michael! Your CD "Sanctus" is a masterpiece! I listen to your songs every day. Your Anuna-compositions are unique and extraordinary! Thank you, Michael, for sharing your talents with us! (Martin from Switzerland)
Michael, you need to do a repeat with the Boston Pops if it's in the schedule for you!!! Hope all is well with you and your family... my friend, Alexandra Bonds at the University of Oregon has been doing absolutely extraordinary period costuming for over 30 some years... if you ever need exquisite hand-made/crafted period costumes, contact Alexandra (my friend)... here's a link to some of her costuming "wonders"...
