Anuna samples are currently up at http://www.tatom.org/eclectica. Here is a description of numbers 12 (jerusalem) and 14 (christ and st. marie) as sent to me by STONE:

Jerusalem (traditional)

one of the killmore carols. this song was reputedly written by an english catholic priest on the day of his martyrdom, in 1601. the chorus is arranged in a style known as heterophony, still practised in the western isles of scotland

Christ and St. Marie (st. godric)

written by St. Godric, and english visionary who lived in the 12th century. The three songs attributed to him are the earliest surviving compositions in the english language. Godric would fast for long periods and then, not surprisingly, he would experience visions. this vision is of his sister, burgwen, who was recently dead, suspended on an altar between christ and st. marie, endlessly singing the following words:
"lord have mercy - christ have mercy christ and st. marie have brought me to this altar so that i may not touch the ground with my bare feet."
