About the Author
Cecilia McDowall has been described by the International Record Review as having a 'communicative gift that is very rare in modern music. An award-winning composer, McDowall is often inspired by extra-musical influences, and her choral writing combines rhythmic vitality with expressive lyricism. Her music has been commissioned, performed, and recorded by leading choirs, among them the BBC Singers, The Sixteen, and Oxford and Cambridge choirs and is regularly programmed at prestigious festivals in Britain and abroad. In 2017 McDowall was selected for an Honorary Fellow award by the Royal School of Church Music.

Reviews
These options all make this attractive anthem a very flexible choice for a variety of situations. . . The sunny tonality, the emotive musical gestures, and the attractive tune all make for an anthem that is eminently enjoyable on first exposure. * Jason Overall, Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians, December 2019 *
