Cecilia McDowall (b.1951) 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 and vitality' about it, combining flowing melodic lines and occasionally astringent harmony with rhythmic vitality. Her music has been commissioned and performed by leading choirs, ensembles, and festivals, among them the choir of New College, Oxford, the Fibonacci Sequence, the Presteigne Festival, and St Albans Choral Society.Cecilia McDowall's website

"The Christmas cantata Christus Natus Est is a hit: an absolute delight from start to finish." - Robert Matthew-Walker, International Record Review, March 2005 "Its five short movements are extremely imaginative arrangements of two Latin carols from Piae Cantiones, the French carol 'Entre le boeuf', and a traditional Polish carol 'Infant holy', all linked by a series of clever variants on one of McDowall's own carols, 'Of a rose'. This is a piece which, if I were king, would be done in musical schools every year!" - Music & Vision Web Review, December 2004 "Its fifteen minute duration, the well known tunes, the easy yet imaginative choral writing, and the wide variety of atmostpheric treatments all
combine to make this a successful piece for choirs wanting something different but not too demanding at Christmas. It will also please audiences in church or school who want to hear something with familiar Christmas tunes." - James L. Montgomery, Church Music Quarterly, December 08 "If you are searching for a way of filling 15 minutes with a continuous stream of Christmas music, and offering your choir something not too challenging technically but a bit more extended than single carols to work on, this little cantata should fit the bill admirably." - The Organ, November 07
