In the world of musical composition, men have long overshadowed
women. But as the prominence of women composers increases, so does
interest in their lives and works. This is the first substantive
biographical reference book geared toward the student or
non-specialist, featuring information on nearly 200 women composers
of the Western music tradition from the 9th century to the 21st.
Composers were chosen based on the excellence of their music, their
importance in the period's daily musical life, and the availability
of information on their lives, music, and recordings. Taken
together, they represent a broad range of styles, countries, and
eras. This book is a valuable resource for students from high
school through university, and for anyone interested in musical
history and composers. The book is arranged by style of music and
chronology. Each profiled composer placed is related to the famous
male composers, arts, sciences, and politics of her period.
Profiles include biographical information and focus on the
composer's work and association with other musicians. Also included
for each composer are a discography of her recorded works
(including a list of those available in modern editions) and a
bibliography of additional print and electronic resources.
Timelines place the women in historical context and appendixes
organize them by country, century, and type of music. A syllabus of
study is provided.
