Invocations Of Ireland (2009)

This stunningly beautiful production features the voices of the Irish choral group Anúna performing the music of Dublin composer and main Anúna member Michael McGlynn. The DVD is an elegant and visually spectacular study of the Irish countryside, filmed entirely on location and includes the spiritually resonant landscapes of Wicklow and the West of Ireland. The name Anúna derives from the collective term for the three ancient types of Celtic music, Suantraí (lullaby), Geantraí (happy song) and Goltraí (lament) and the choir explores and redefines these wonderful genres. Anúna dispels any pre-conceived ideas about Irish music and choral music performance with a combination of movement, elegant costume, and ethereal and haunting music, sung in a unique way which has gained the choir a justified reputation for the quality of the singers natural voices.
