British composer Rebecca Dale has emerged from film and television work with music that has found great success on the crossover-oriented Classic FM radio network. She became the first female composer signed to the Decca label, which rarely signs composers of any gender. Dale was born in 1985 and took to composing at a young age, by the time she was ten she had written a musical, and by 15 a piano concerto. Her vocal music has been performed across Europe and the US by groups such as Voces 8 and The Kings Singers. This new setting of Christina Rosetti's poem 'In The Bleak Midwinter' was composed in 2021 and released as a Christmas single by the Church of England - it reached number one in the classical chart and is now available for full concert band, featuring beautiful solo passages throughout and contemporary harmonies to bring something new to your usual holiday concert. Arranged as part of an ongoing project to bring more music by women composers into the worldwide concert band repertoire.
