Rebecca Clarke (27 August 1886 – 13 October 1979) was an English classical composer and violist best known for her chamber music featuring the viola. She was born in Harrow and studied at the Royal Academy of Music and Royal College of Music in London, later becoming one of the first female professional orchestral players. Stranded in the United States at the outbreak of World War II, she settled permanently in New York City and married composer and pianist James Friskin in 1944. Clarke died at her home in New York at the age of 93.

Although Clarke's output was not large, her work was recognised for its compositional skill and artistic power. Some of her works have yet to be published (and many were only recently published); those that were published in her lifetime were largely forgotten after she stopped composing. Scholarship and interest in her compositions revived in 1976. The Rebecca Clarke Society was established in 2000 to promote the study and performance of her music.

Critically Acclaimed Etherea Vocal Ensemble releases Hymn to the Dawn, their second album on Delos

Following the conspicuous success of Ceremony of Carols, Etherea Vocal Ensemble’s stunning debut album, we at Delos lost no time in producing their second effort: Hymn to the Dawn. Containing several world premiere performances, the CD is an enchanting mix of mostly uncommon works for female choir by Gustav Holst, Amy Beach, Josef Rheinberger, Felix Mendelssohn and Giaochino Rossini; the program includes a cappella pieces and others with harp, organ, or piano accompaniment. While all of these lovely works are standouts among the limited female choir repertoire, Holst’s third group of Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda and the Two Eastern Pictures are particularly rare, exotic, and ripe for rediscovery.
