In Women of Influence in Contemporary Music: Nine American
Composers, Michael K. Slayton has collected essays, which focus on
women who have made significant contributions to American music:
Elizabeth Austin, Susan Botti, Gabriela Lena Frank, Jennifer
Higdon, Libby Larsen, Tania Leon, Cindy McTee, Marga Richter, and
Judith Shatin. While these composers have much in common, not least
of all dedication to their art, their individual stories reveal
different impulses in American music. Their works reflect the
shifting societal landscapes in the United States over the last
seven decades, as well as different stylistic approaches to writing
music. Each chapter includes a biography of the composer, an
interview, and a detailed analysis of one major composition. The
composers openly reflect on their individual journeys, in which
they have discovered respective musical languages and have found
success during different times in history. Because few music books
focus solely on female composers, Women of Influence in
Contemporary Music offers a rare glimpse into the styles and
attitudes of gifted women and their work.
