Description
O Antiphon Sequence is a work for solo organ, composed as a recital piece but also suitable for liturgical use. Each movement responds to a short extract from the 'O Antiphons', traditional antiphons used at Vespers during Advent in Western Christian traditions.
The piece was commissioned by the American Guild of Organists for performance at their 2018 National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. This collection of movements showcases Cecilia McDowall's skill as a composer and her ability to craft music that is both personal and liturgically relevant.
