Just love this requiem by Eleanor Daley, beautiful writing for voices and lovely rich harmony with some crunchy dissonances. Love the acapella sound. Deserves me to up there with the Faure, Duruffle, Herbert Howells, John Rutter, Karl Jenkins & Howard Goodhall! Ms Daley deserves to be better known, I hope to hear and learn more of her works.
I've been performing music for nearly 25 years and singing bass for 15 of them. This is easily one of the most demanding pieces of music I've ever done. Totally worth it because it's gorgeous.
My daughters all female ensemble just sang Ave Maria which I thought was beautiful so now I'm going down the Eleanor Daley rabbit hole. She makes some beautiful chord and voice choices, definitely reminds me of John Rutter's stuff as well.

Reilly, this recording was done in conjunction with composer Eleanor, so tempo of In Remembrance is as she intends. I have sung this with her numerous times, and this is her tempo. And Norah, you are right, the whole work should not be displayed like this on UA-cam!
On the other hand, if the work were not thus displayed I would not have listened to the whole thing, because I would not have been able to discern the words without the score.
I love the tempo! I have heard some recordings that are sooooo slow and I think they become too indulgent and lose the comforting nature of that piece. This whole recording is so lovely and beautifully sung.

Daley is one of the few female composers of whom I know, and one of the few who has/had come so far.

Toronto's Amadeus Choir (with members of the Elmer Iseler Singers.)
Carrie, when was this recording done, do you know? Or if it's available anywhere? You're sure it's the AC?
+Andrew Cranston This is on Amadeus Choir's 2001 album Songs of the Spirit.
I feel so privileged to be a part of this recording, with Lydia Adams conducting. Eleanor was our accompanist so to sing her work was even more special. One of my highlights of choral singing.
Reilly, this recording was done in conjunction with composer Eleanor, so tempo of In Remembrance is as she intends. I have sung this with her numerous times, and this is her tempo.
And Norah, you are right, the whole work should not be displayed like this on UA-cam!
On the other hand, if the work were not thus displayed I would not have listened to the whole thing, because I would not have been able to discern the words without the score.
I love the tempo! I have heard some recordings that are sooooo slow and I think they become too indulgent and lose the comforting nature of that piece. This whole recording is so lovely and beautifully sung.

We're singing the Fauré Requiem the same night.
It's also great for conductors like me who are thinking of buying it for my choir. A lovely piece!
Lovely work, in the spirit of Howell's "Requiem," but perhaps not so difficult. Many stand-alone movements, or pairings that could be created.
Hi! I am really looking for the sheets of this lovely piece, do you know how can i get it?
Bravi tutti
A fairly heterodox requiem that doesn't even include the ordinary of the Liturgy.
Joli ! Quel choeur chante ?
Yes, I too would like to know who's singing. It's a near flawless rendition.
Hey, I found the audio on the site of Northwestern Michigan College.
yann c Andrew Cranston It's the Amadeus Choir, for whom the composer is, or at least was last I heard, their accompanist. www.amadeuschoir.com Sing on!
In remembrance's tempo is entirely too fast, it ruins the tender and gentleness of the piece and it's message.

Bark! Bark!
