Description:
Written to celebrate the 950th anniversary of St Mary Magdalen Church, Oxford, this compelling double-choir setting of the Missa brevis is suitable for both liturgical and concert settings. The work opens with a contemplative Kyrie, soars through the Sanctus, and offers up praises in the Gloria and Agnus Dei. Listeners will find the music both beautiful and healing, as is fitting for a tribute to Mary Magdalen, who herself found healing and hope through her relationship with Christ.
Cecilia McDowall (b. 1951) has been described by the International Record Review as having a 'communicative gift that is very rare in modern music.' An award-winning composer, McDowall is often inspired by extra-musical influences, and her choral writing combines rhythmic vitality with expressive lyricism. Her music has been commissioned, performed, and recorded by leading choirs, among them the BBC Singers, The Sixteen, and Oxford and Cambridge choirs and is regularly programmed at prestigious festivals in Britain and abroad. In 2017 McDowall was selected for an Honorary Fellow award by the Royal School of Church Music.
