Lyrics:

Where the river foams and surges to the sea,
Silver figures rise to find me,
Wise and as daring,
Following the heart's cry.
I am that deep pool,
I am that dark spring,
Warm with a mystery,
I may reveal to you,
In Time,
(Time holds the heart's key)
Key to everything is Love,
(Love makes the heart flower)
Flowers into a deep desire,
(Passion in the heart's fire)
Passion and desire.

See the eagle rise above the open plain,
Golden in the morning air,
Weaving and soaring,
Watchful and protecting.
I am your shelter,
I will enfold you.
Warm with a mystery,
I may reveal to you,
In Time.
(Time holds the heart's key)
Key to everything is Love,
(Love makes the heart flower)
Flowers into a deep desire,
(Passion in the heart's fire)
Passion and desire

In 1987 Dublin composer Michael McGlynn founded ANÚNA. The name derives from the collective term for the three ancient types of Celtic music, Suantraí (lullaby), Geantraí (happy song) and Goltraí (lament). One of the choir's stated aims is to explore and redefine this music. Anúna is a Dublin-based a cappella choir that performs with between eleven and fourteen singers. The group is directed by Michael McGlynn and his twin brother John.

Most of the material they perform is written or arranged specifically for the group by Michael McGlynn. He has reconstructed and arranged a substantial amount of medieval Irish music, which has been recorded by the group. McGlynn's choral arrangements are written specifically for their combination of classically trained singers and untrained voices. Anúna do not work with a conductor in performance, and move throughout the venue at different points in concert.

Anúna dispels any pre-conceived ideas about Irish music and choral music performance. An Anúna concert is a true show, a combination of movement, elegant costume, candles and ethereal and haunting music sung in a unique way. This has gained the choir a justified reputation for the quality of the singers natural voices. Together with relaxed introductions by the director and other singers, Anúnas style of presentation allows anyone of any musical persuasion to appreciate their performance despite the esoteric nature of their material.
