Composer of the month

The very active Composers Community on ChoralNet has developed a new feature: the Composer of the Month, profiling living composers of choral music, written by editor Jack Senzig. This month’s composer: Michael McGlynn.

I’m not actually that interested in Irish music, to be honest. I know that lots of people love that element of my work. I am first and foremost a composer, exactly the same as those people I meet here (CCMC).  I am obsessed with the land I live on. It is a very special place, and the only guide I need. I wish I could write more, but time is limited and I would rather jump into the sea than write about it at this point in my life.
