ST CAECILIA (ST CECILIA) - LIST OF MUSIC IN HER HONOUR

(At the bottom of the list, please select where shown either PREVIOUS or NEXT to go to next or previous page of the list)

The following is a list of musical works, which are examples of those written to the glory of St Cecilia (St Caecilia) from around 600 AD until the present day. It should be noted where, in the list, alternative spellings of composers’ surnames are provided, where this applies, this is to facilitate search engines accessing this page:

Year of
Composition

 Composer Title of Work Comments   Recording Sample
2006 Bennett, Richard Rodney Verses on St Cecilia’s Day, for chorus  
2007 Jars of Clay The Gift of St. Cecilia The American pop-rock band Jars of Clay opened their 2007 Christmas Songs album with this instrumental track .  
2008 Eno, Brian and Byrne, David The River On 2008 Brian Eno’s and David Byrne’s album “Everything That Happens Will Happen Today”, Cecilia is referred to in the song “The River”.  
2010 López, Rodolfo and Estela (also Lopez or Garcia-Lopez or García-López) Missa Santa Cecilia The goal of the composers was to set this bilingual Mass setting to music that was user friendly yet fun, especially for guitar, the main instrument for Hispanic choirs. The chords, structure and keys are very simple, making it easy to play. The syncopation also makes it fun and a little more interesting. It may take a rehearsal or two to learn the verses to the Gloria but once you've got it, it's fun. We feel that we found a happy medium. The Mass can be performed very simply with guitar and/or piano, but can also be built upon with an array of instruments.  
2012 MacMillan, James Cecilia Virgo, for Chorus  
2013 Jackson, Gabriel La musique, for soprano & chorus  
2013 Turnt Girls The Chicago band Turnt (now known as Everybody All The Time) released a song called Girls which refers to St Cecilia in the lyrics. The song was first performed at Northwestern University’s Mayfest Battle of the Bands on Friday May 24, 2013 at 27 Live in downtown Evanston.  
2014 Momotenko, Fred Cecilia Composition for full mixed choir. “A hymn to the past as well as to the future of the monastic tradition”. The world premiere was at Koningshöven Abbey on Saint Cecilia’s feast day 2014.  
2014 Nielsen, Dan Missa Sanctae Caeciliae The date of composition is an estimate and subject to correction
