Requiem & Gallipoli is the seventh album by Astrid Williamson and contains her first full classic composition.

[2] The event raised funds for a local Hull veterans' charity and Operation Warrior Wellness, a process to address post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans using transcendental mediation in collaboration with the David Lynch Foundation.

[3] Williamson explained the writing process: "I would translate each movement from Latin, then start writing the music at the piano, later orchestrating and singing each individual voice; as I began to transcribe the piano arrangement for the orchestra I found myself thinking, 'this section must to be on flute, not oboe, not bassoon', it was incredibly intuitive work – the music seemed to unfurl before me.

I also found it liberating that in essence the piece was not personal to events in my life.

It was refreshing to not be pouring out my experiences, rather I felt I was drawing upon a more collective understanding of loss and release.
