Rachel Fuller: Animal Requiem (CD Box Set) – Rachel Fuller

‘Animal Requiem’ is an album to celebrate and honour all animals from composer Rachel Fuller. It is a musical work created with the intention of celebrating, remembering and honouring all the animals we have loved and lost. Recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and choir, it also features guest performances by Alfie Boe (‘Psalm 142’ and ‘Agnus Dei’) and Paul McCartney (‘Blackbird’). The album is a memorial for all animals across the world, helping raise awareness for the present suffering of animals affected by cruelty, negligence or abuse of any kind. Fuller comments: ‘I composed the Animal Requiem for all of us who have lost a much beloved pet – the pain we feel is equal to the love we felt for them. With this music, I honour and remember all the animals I have loved and lost. All their lives have had an extraordinary impact on mine and I am forever grateful.’ All profits from the album and ticket sales of concert performances that take place will be donated to animal charities and small independently run shelters around the world.
