Fauré: Requiem; Rebecca Dale: When Music Sounds

Milton Keynes Chorale presents an unplifitng concert featuring Fauré’s sublime Requiem and Rebecca Dale’s ‘richly cinematic’ When Music Sounds in a new piano arrangement of the orchestral score.

Appealing melodies, comforting harmonies and an understated scale all combine to make Fauré’s Requiem a favourite of choirs and audiences alike; it is impossible not to be moved by the beauty of this humble masterpiece.

Rebecca Dale’s When Music Sounds fuses a cinematic soundscape with lush choral harmonies to create a vibrant celebration of the power of music. It is a stirring and generous piece, full of soaring melodies and cheering climaxes. Rebecca is hailed by Classic FM as 'one of today's most exciting young composers' and 'a household name in years to come’ and her debut CD shot straight to the top of the classical charts. We are delighted to be performing the premiere of the piano version of this work.
