I obey thee, O Lord [Lacrimosa] : From Da Vinci Requiem

The third movement of McDowall's powerful Da Vinci Requiem, this anthem is a compelling pairing of the 'Lacrimosa' text from the Missa pro defunctis with extracts from the Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, and has a poignant, tender simplicity.

Da Vinci Requiem

This significant seven-movement work from Cecilia McDowall presents an imaginative pairing of extracts from The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci with texts from the Latin Missa pro defunctis. Da Vinci's reflective and penetrating insights into the nature of mortality and all that it encompasses cast new light on the familiar Requiem texts, and McDowall employs her orchestral forces to create a rich, atmospheric backdrop to the profound narrative presented by the chorus and soprano and baritone soloists. Dark, sonorous writing precedes an energetic 'Sanctus', and the closing bars of the luminous 'Lux aeterna' create a powerful allusion to da Vinci's concept of 'The Perspective ofDisappearance'.
