Born in 1951, educated at Edinburgh and London Universities, and a prize-winning student at Trinity College of Music, Cecilia McDowall has a distinctive style which speaks directly to listeners, instrumentalists, and singers alike. Her choral output has been described as having a ¿freshness, brightness, and fidelity¿ about it, combining flowing melodic lines and occasionally astringent harmony with rhythmic vitality. Her music has been commissioned and performed by a variety of leading choirs, ensembles, and festivals, among them the choir of New College, Oxford, the Fibonacci Sequence, the Presteigne Festival, and St Albans Choral Society.
