The patron saint of music is honoured in McDowall's setting of lyrics based on 'The Life of Saint Cecilia' in Jacobus de Voragine's 1275 The Golden Legend or Lives Of The Saints. The work's outer sections are fast-paced and lively, while the central section takes a moment to reflect.
for soprano solo, SSATB, two trumpets, and organ
The patron saint of music is honoured in Cecilia McDowall's exuberant setting of Kate Wakeling's lyrics based on 'The Life of Saint Cecilia' in Jacobus de Voragine's 1275 The Golden Legend or Lives Of The Saints, translated by William Caxton in 1483. The work's outer sections are fast-paced and lively, with heraldic trumpets, while the reflective central section, for mezzo soprano, is introduced by the timely reminder 'For the hearing of melody is a pricking of the soul, where the clay of the spirit is raised to gold.' The closing section reminds us of the importance of singing, with the words 'She sang in her heart and for this she is now clothed always in arms of light.' This jubilant piece was commissioned by The Bar Choral Society to celebrate its Tenth Anniversary in 2024.

Cecilia McDowall 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.
