Abstract
This study provides a thorough analysis of and conductor's guide to Eleanor Daley's Requiem. It includes a theoretical analysis, a textual analysis, an analysis of performance and conducting considerations, a list of compositions by the composer, and a discography. Additionally, it includes score corrections, the composer's biography, a brief history of the Requiem Mass and Christian funeral music, and historical connections to other Requiems, including a chapter dedicated to the Requiem of Herbert Howells.
The study was informed by numerous correspondences and multiple interviews with the composer, as well as singing under her direction. It is the author's hope that this study will encourage and equip future conductors to program this exceptional composition, and encourage greater exploration of other accessible modern works.
