Description:

Requiem For My Mother is Rebecca Dales debut album. She is the first female composer to sign to Decca Classics, and her debut album featuring two major works: her brand new Materna Requiem and her choral symphony When Music Sounds. At the heart of Rebeccas first recording is her Materna Requiem a beautifully moving and uplifting tribute to her late mother, who died in 2010. Rebecca Dale says of the album: Its an amazing feeling to be releasing my first album and sharing my music with everyone. The Requiem is a very personal piece to me, and it uses melodies I wrote when I was a child so you could say Ive been working on it for most of my life! When I first wrote the Requiem I didnt even realise it would receive a performance so its a hugely exciting moment to hear it on record, and I hope the piece connects with people.
