2 Musical style
For more details on this topic, see Michael McGlynn.
The original name of the group, An Uaithne, is the col-
lective description for the three ancient forms of Irish mu-
sic[...] the Goltra (song of lament), Geantra (song of
joy) and Suantra (the lullaby)".[49] McGlynn has recon-
structed and arranged a substantial amount of early and
medieval Irish music, as well as writing original pieces.
Anna do not work with a conductor in performance, and
move throughout the venue at dierent points in concert.
Their standard line-up is twelve to fourteen singers.[16]
According to Stephen Eddins at AllMusic, "[...] with the
intent that it would unite the discipline of classical choral
singing with the unaected spontaneity typical of Irish
folk singing.[50] McGlynn supports this in his blog:
I can now hear two types of singer on the
recording. There are large, plummy voices
favoured by the classically trained singers I had
gathered around me for An Uaithne, but now I
can hear the others early music singers, tra-
ditional singers and untrained singers. There is
a ght going on. The performances are rough,
but hugely energetic. Many of the more clas-
sical singers or choral groupies are stuck to
the inadequately learned sheet music, while the
new people are singing without music and with-
out aectation.[51]
