Revelation

Anna's first album of new material since 2006, Revelation marks a major departure for this unique Dublin-based group, returning them to the live ambience of a natural acoustic. The songs span continents, millennia and multiple languages. Subjects range from a Japanese spirit princess (Mononoke Hime) to a dying soldier (One Last Song), climaxing in Anna's extraordinary depiction of the Apocalypse (Revelation). Composed and arranged by Michael McGlynn, Revelation is an eclectic and powerful release containing the most fragile and haunting sounds that this extraordinary group of musicians have produced on disc. Anna's members come from seven countries. This has enhanced and expanded the musical palette of both the ensemble and McGlynn's compositional voice.
