Cecilia McDowall Sacred Choral Sampler Cecilia McDowall is perhaps best known for her choral works, though her output extends to chamber, orchestral and organ works. She has won many awards including the British Composer Award Choral category in 2014 for her haunting work, Night Flight . McDowall’s distinctive style fuses fluent melodic lines with occasional dissonant harmonies and rhythmic exuberance. Her music has been commissioned and performed by leading choirs and artists, including the BBC Singers, The Sixteen, Oxford and Cambridge choirs, ensembles, and at festivals worldwide. In December 2020 McDowall was presented with the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for ‘outstanding works collection’ for a ‘consistently excellent body of work’.
