Title: Anúna - Home And The Heartland - Riverdance The Show 1995
Description: Anúna. The Video of Riverdance - The Show was recorded live at the Point Theatre in Dublin in 1995 with the original cast (Michael Flatley and Jean Butler, 'Anúna' The RiverDance Choir, Maria Pages, Moiseyev Dance Company, Marcel Peneux, James Bignon and the Deliverance Ensemble). From the Anuna web site: Michael McGlynn founded An Uaithne in 1987. "My original idea was to create something that would make people aware of the beauty of choral music by introducing it to them in a way that they could understand. I started singing in choirs at the age of 19, and I couldn't believe that something so beautiful existed that I had never heard of before. I think that I got the sound of Anúna into my head right back on the first day I started singing with other voices for the first time. I had just begun composing at that time and I found that An Uaithne offered me a chance to have my own original music performed. I knew then that this was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life." The development of An Uaithne into Anúna was slow but sure. By 1991 the choir had gone from singing standard choral music, with an emphasis on contemporary and ancient music, to performing Michael's arrangements of medieval and traditional Irish works combined with his original choral pieces almost exclusively. "John McGlynn joined Anúna in 1991, and at that stage the group began to transform from a rather stiff and formal group to a much more relaxed ethos that remains with us today. Performances were experimental and sometimes a bit outrageous. We tried acting on stage, combined with music and various stage effects to see how far the form could be pushed. We started moving, and we still move today in performance. However the one important factor about this movement was that it must have a reason for being. I really didn't want singers wandering aimlessly around as if they were looking for an exit. The most experimental thing I did was to give choral singing back to the singers by eliminating the use of sheet music and the conductor. Singers were now responsible for their performances, and as a result John and I started looking at various ways we could present the choir to make choral music more accessible to our audience." (This is and will always be my favorite version and performance of this truly profound and beautiful song. This is Anúna's song. This song IS Anúna.)~Ric~ Please visit Anúna's website for bios,news and current show dates and locations at: http://www.anuna.ie/home.html ~Ric~ Lyrics: High in the sky, Through the clouds and rain, Every familiar field, Seems like an old friend, When every hand that you shake, Is like a warm embrace, Could only be one sweet place, Home and the Heartland. Sing out your songs, And ring out your stories and rhymes, Weave from your dreams, The mystical dances that lead us to Bind in heart and mind. As we circle the world, With our wandering airs, Gathering here and there, Leaving behind our share, Like the leaves in the wind, They are blown along, Melodies rising from, Home and the Heartland. Sing out your songs, And ring out your stories and rhymes, Weave from your dreams, The mystical dances that lead us to Bind in heart and mind.

Title: Never Give All the Heart - The Chieftains, Anúna & Brenda Fricker
Description: Song on the Chieftain's CD Tears of Stone Never give all the heart, for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women if it seem Certain, and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight. O never give the heart outright, For they, for all smooth lips can say, Have given their hearts up to the play. And who could play it well enough If deaf and dumb and blind with love? He that made this knows all the cost, For he gave all his heart and lost.
