Summary of This Score
Ecce Cor Meum is an oratorio by Paul McCartney that fits within the tradition of grand vocal works with soloist, choirs, and orchestra, while asserting a decidedly modern and accessible writing style. Designed for a soprano, boy trebles, choir, and orchestra, the work unfolds a wide spectrum of colors: expressive vocal lines, powerful choral masses, and orchestral accompaniment serving the text and musical narrative.
The world premiere took place on November 3, 2006, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, followed by an American premiere on November 14, 2006, at Carnegie Hall in New York. These dates immediately highlight the scale of the project and its positioning within the repertoire of large forms, intended for experienced performers and venues capable of hosting a substantial ensemble.
For conductors, orchestras, and vocal ensembles, this score represents a strong choice: it allows work on the balance between soloist and choir, the fusion between children's choir and mixed choir, as well as rhythmic precision and the breadth of orchestral sound. It is also a particularly attractive piece for building a program around contemporary choral music and drawing a curious audience, thanks to McCartney's signature and the emotional impact of an oratorio in a spectacular format.
