Rebecca Dale's "Dale: Requiem For My Mother" is a deeply personal and moving musical journey, released in 2018 under Decca Music Group Ltd. This album is a heartfelt tribute to Dale's mother, who passed away from cancer in 2010. The centerpiece of the album is the "Materna Requiem," a poignant and uplifting composition that weaves in melodies written by Dale's mother, adding a layer of intimacy and emotional resonance.
The album is divided into two main sections: "Materna Requiem" and "When Music Sounds." The "Materna Requiem" section includes traditional requiem elements such as "Introit," "Kyrie," and "Pie Jesu," along with original pieces like "Paradisum Interlude" and "In Paradisum: If I Should Go." The "When Music Sounds" section offers a contrast with its more uplifting and hopeful melodies, including tracks like "Song's Flight" and "I'll Sing."
With a total duration of 1 hour and 12 minutes, the album features a blend of choral and instrumental pieces that showcase Dale's compositional prowess and emotional depth. Performed by the Kantos Chamber Choir and conducted by Clark Rundell, with vocals by Louise Alder, the album is a testament to the power of music to express grief, love, and remembrance. Whether you're a fan of choral music or simply appreciate deeply moving compositions, "Dale: Requiem For My Mother" is an album that will leave a lasting impression.
