Rebecca Dale, a contemporary British composer and conductor, has gained recognition for her contributions to both classical and film music.
The “Kyrie” is part of Dale’s larger composition, the “Materna Requiem.” Premiered in 2019, this requiem reflects Dale’s distinctive approach to choral and orchestral writing. Drawing inspiration from the Latin Mass and incorporating elements of the folk hymn “America the Beautiful” (“Materna”), the composition showcases Dale’s ability to weave traditional and contemporary influences into a cohesive musical narrative. The “Kyrie” likely contributes to the larger work’s exploration of themes related to loss, remembrance, and hope.
