These are the powerful voices of M'ANAM, part of the ANÚNA Collective alongside Systir and ANÚNA itself, singers brought together with a vision that binds them across the world. Soloist is Noah Thys in his own arrangement of the 12th century poem by Hildegard of Bingen "O Frondes Virga". M'ANAM

Not arranged by Michael - composed for us by him in 1997, so not Traditional Irish either. Ah well... great performance by Spokanki!
Ever heard traditional Gaelic Irish music sung by an a cappella group like this?
This is Ceann Dubh Dilis (My Sweet, Dark-Haired Love), arranged by Michael McGlynn and performed by Spokanki.

I listened to so much of Anúna's music. And I remain tickled at the places I keep seeing Michael McGlynn and his work (and in this case, his daughter Lauren!) turn up. Bayonetta? Why the heck not! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktvg...
