This first scholarly book on Cecile Chaminade, a popular composer,
pianist, and one of the few women to attain critical acclaim as a
composer in the early twentieth century, contains an extensive
biography drawn from a significant collection of primary sources.
The study presents basic information, including facts not
previously published, on this neglected composer and it offers a
discussion of historical and aesthetic issues inherent in her life
and career as well as observations about her musical style. The
exhaustive bibliography, an annotated listing of her prolific
output, contains a selection of reviews of her compositions and
first performances, and a brief section identifying her prose
works. The up-to-date discography lists every commercially made
recording of her individual works, anthologies, and performances,
and it includes out-of-print releases. This informative book offers
the first detailed presentation of information on the location of
Chaminade musical autographs and first editions. It fills an urgent
need for the basic facts about her life and activities: exactly
what she composed, when and why. It also deals with the nature of
her performing career and documents critical reviews of both her
playing and her compositions. This is the only volume of its kind
on Chaminade and one of the few available on any women composer. It
will be an indispensable resource for musicologists and researchers
of women composers and French music history, as well as a valuable
addition to all university and college music libraries.
