Night Flight

Cecilia McDowall's Night Flight for SSATB and Cello.

Night Flight was written to mark the centenary of Harriet Quimby's pioneering flight across the English channel. Settingtexts by Sheila Bryer on the mysterious powers of the sea, earth, and air, McDowall uses vocal clusters and haunting solo Cello lines to highlight the sense of fear, awe, and majesty experienced by an individual pitted against theelements. Cecilia McDowall was awarded the 2014 British Composer Award in the Choral category for Night Flight.

The solo Cello part is available for sale separately.
