This album presents a stunning collection of recent cantatas by acclaimed composer Cecilia McDowall, performed by the Choir of Royal Holloway, Orchestra Nova, and conductor George Vass. Known for her "spicy rhythms and colours" (Gramophone), McDowall’s music weaves vibrant textures and emotional depth, drawing listeners into a compelling journey. The featured works explore diverse themes, from the haunting beauty of ice in The Ice is Listening to the celestial wonders of Music of the Stars. Also included is the chamber orchestra version of A Winter’s Night, a joyful Christmas cantata. McDowall’s distinct choral voice shines through, blending introspective reflection with exuberant energy, making this an essential addition to the choral repertoire.
