New Horizons showcases the wealth of exciting, innovative, and occasionally challenging choral music being written today. It encompasses the whole gamut of small-scale choral genres, both secular
and sacred, and includes pieces for upper-voice and mixed choirs. With titles by some of the most accomplished choral composers active in Great Britain and abroad, the series introduces new repertoire
and fresh talent to a broad spectrum of choirs.
New Horizons features composers with growing reputations for quality composition reflecting a strong individual voice. The series is continually
expanding and should be the first place to look for attractive and performable contemporary choral music. for SSATB unaccompanied
No. 1 of McDowall's 'Three Latin Motets', Ave Regina is a gentle
and lyrical setting of the text 'Hail, Queen of the Heavens'. The calm and memorable opening phrase is hinted at in passages of more intensity, and its partial statement at the end leaves it lingering
after the voices have faded away.

- 'Once again, sensitivity to the words - their passion, their dignity, and their metrical quantities - is faultless.' -Peter Dale, Choir & Organ Sept 06
- 'A gentle and lyrical
response to the 'Queen of the heavens . . . from whom the light came into the world'. In fifty-five bars McDowall's sparing Ave Regina is truly trenchant, so too is its scope; with the highlighting of
key words glowingly effective.' -Howard Smith, Music and Vision, March 08
