A Tree is a Song presents first recordings of a collection of recent secular choral works by Cecilia McDowall, performed by The Rodolfus Choir under Ralph Allwood and Elinor Cooper.
Written between 2012 and 2024, the programme sets texts by poets including Heather Lane, Seán Street, Kate Wakeling, Sheila Bryer, Virginia Woolf, and Shakespeare. Several works feature obbligato cello played by Leo Popplewell. The pieces respond to a wide range of subjects, from nature and community to remembrance and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recorded in London in 2024, the album documents McDowall’s distinctive approach to contemporary vocal writing.
