OUP signs Cecilia McDowall

We are proud to announce the signing of Cecilia McDowall as an Oxford composer.

Cecilia McDowall

McDowall’s music is praised for its originality, directness and integrity, and has won her widespread acclaim. Her music is as at home in the concert hall as it is in the cathedral, and she writes effectively for professional musicians, amateurs, and children.

In 2009 the Chandos recording, ‘Spotless Rose’, featuring her three Marian motets (Ave Maria, Ave Regina, Regina Caeli) won a Grammy award.
