The large scale Da Vinci Requiem was written to coincide with the 500th anniversary of Leonardo Da Vinci's death.

1951

Cecilia McDowall (born 1951 in London, England) is a British composer, particularly known for her choral compositions.

McDowall read music at the University of Edinburgh, continuing her studies at Trinity College of Music, London and later completing an MMus in composition.

She studied with Joseph Horovitz, Robert Saxton and Adam Gorb.

She has won many awards and has been short-listed seven times for the British Composer Awards.

2004

Also from that year, the Three Latin Motets were commissioned by the City of Canterbury Chamber Choir in 2004, and have since been recorded by the American choir Phoenix Chorale.

2010

In 2010, Oxford University Press signed McDowall as an 'Oxford' composer.

2011

A commission from the Portsmouth Festival Choir, The Shipping Forecast, gained her national media attention in June 2011.

The work reflects the mystery and force of the sea, drawing together the poetry of Seán Street, the psalm 'They that go down to the sea in ships', and the words of the Shipping Forecast itself.

Her choral works often take their inspiration from extra-musical influences.

2012

2014

In 2014 she won the British Composer Award for her choral piece Night Flight.

Although choral music dominates her output, McDowall has also composed four stage works (including the chamber opera Airbourne, 2014), orchestral music (such as Great Hills for solo violin, 2 flutes and strings, 2007, and Dance the Dark Streets, a concerto grosso with piano obbligato, 2005), and a considerable body of chamber and instrumental music (including Dream City for flute, clarinet, harp and string quartet, 2002 and the String Quartet No 1, subtitled the case of the unanswered wire, from 2004. The impressionistic Y Deryn Pur ('The Gentle Dove') was written for the 2007 Presteigne Festival and scored for oboe, violin, viola and cello.

Notable recordings of McDowall's music include:

2015

Since 2015, she has been Visiting Composer in Dulwich College, London.

In 2015, she served on the panel for a Women Composers Competition of The Arcadian Singers of Oxford.

2016

Other choral pieces include When time is broke (Three Shakespeare Songs), written for the BBC Singers in 2016, Adoro te devote for the Westminster Cathedral Choir in 2015, and another large scale work, the Stabat Mater, for St Albans Choral Society in 2004.
