Which Oxford college commissioned Paul McCartney's 'Ecce Cor Meum'?

Magdalen College commissioned Paul McCartney's Ecce Cor Meum.

The work originated when Anthony Smith, president of Magdalen College, Oxford, invited McCartney to compose music connected with a new concert hall. The commission followed the college's tradition of engaging composers, and McCartney initially hoped the piece would help mark the auditorium's opening.

The project took more than eight years to complete. Linda McCartney's death delayed the composition, and the new hall ultimately opened with another work. Ecce Cor Meum was eventually performed at Oxford's Sheldonian Theatre in November 2001, with the full Choir of Magdalen College conducted by Bill Ives.

The title is Latin for “Behold My Heart” and was inspired by an inscription McCartney saw above a statue of Jesus in New York's Church of St. Ignatius Loyola. The finished four-movement oratorio uses Latin and English for orchestra, boys' choir and adult choir. It was released as an album in 2006, becoming McCartney's fourth classical album.
