Essential Anuna

This Dublin-based choral group has exquisite harmonies and glorious voices. Tracks range from 12th century chants to Irish folk music to one with vocals by Elvis Costello. Many tracks are hymns, or prayers. Mostly a capella, though a few have minimal musical accompaniment. Gorgeous, though some may find it too sleepy as almost all tracks are slow, lovely and not exactly fun.
