Michael specialises in the creation of music for voices. His output includes "Agnus Dei" (2005) commissioned by Chanticleer and his short choral setting of the traditional text "Dúlamán" (1995). This piece fuses modality, alternating time signatures and medieval tonal colours in a unique fashion that is instantly recognisable as the work of McGlynn. Sung all over the world by amateur and professional ensembles, it has come to define an 'Irishness' that has hitherto been elusive in the world of ensemble music.
