About the song

‘Sancta Maria’ blends synthesisers and classical instrumentation to create an ethereal soundscape that comfortably sits in both the past and the future. It’s almost a history of sound encapsulated in four hypnotic and otherworldly minutes.Dark Sky Island Press Release

As a classically trained pianist, I thought I’d love to do something with the idea of Ave Maria, I thought it’d be slow and melancholy, as a lot of my melodies are – but the next thing, there’s this big celebration.Enya for The Irish Times, 2015
