Exploding the assumption that black women's only important musical
contributions have been in folk, jazz, and pop
Helen Walker-Hill's unique study provides a carefully researched
examination of the history and scope of musical composition by
African American women composers from the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. Focusing on the effect of race, gender, and class, "From
Spirituals to Symphonies" notes the important role played by
individual personalities and circumstances in shaping this
underappreciated category of American art. The study also provides
in-depth exploration of the backgrounds, experiences, and musical
compositions of eight African American women including Margaret
Bonds, Undine Smith Moore, and Julia Perry, who combined the
techniques of Western art music with their own cultural traditions
and individual gifts. Despite having gained national and
international recognition during their lifetimes, the contributions
of many of these women are today forgotten.
