The documentary "Requiem for My Mother" is a biography of the original choral and orchestral composition of the same name by composer Stephen Edwards which was inspired by his mother and musical muse Rosalie Edwards. Stephen Edwards wrote "Requiem" to commemorate his mother Rosalie's influence personally and professionally from his first music lessons as a child and throughout his career as a professional film score composer. The feature-length documentary "Requiem for My Mother" chronicles the compositional process Stephen went through and his collaboration with conductor Candace Wicke, the Continuo Arts Foundation singers, and orchestra. This filmed journey that brought “Requiem for my Mother” to life in performance highlighted the consequent celebration of the power of music to transform grief to healing and hope for the future.
