Works by Women ComposersDate: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 18:23:29 -0600 (CST)
From: Erin Walsh To: Conductors Subject: Women Composers results First, thank you all for your GENEROUS responses to my request for information anout women composers of choral music. What a thrill to receive responses from conductors and women composers from all over the world! Here is the compilation of what was sent plus one or two additions. There are 5 sections: COMPOSERS; LIVING COMPOSERS w/CONTACT; GENERAL WEB SITES; PUBLISHERS; BOOKS; and OTHER REFERENCES (lectures, etc.). I'm sure I've left some out of the living composers category but these were just a few who offered other means of contact (there are more copmosers subscribed to this list). And the dates were included only for the few for whom I had definite dates. COMPOSERS: Rafaella Aleotti Ascendit in Christum altum The Ascension of Christ Ann Kapp Andersen Margaret Bonds Lili Boulanger "Psalm 130 ("De profundis"/"Du fond de l'abime") for SATB chorus, mezzo solo and full orchestra Alicia Carpenter Nancy Hill Cobb A Milkmaid's Fable: Alliance Music Psalm of Constancy:Hinshaw Music Antiphon of Praise:Hinshaw Music Gloria In Excelsis Deo:Gentry Pub.

I'm going to include another list with this posting since the contact information is more complete. I just finished compiling this one as a resource for the GALA Director's Meeting (Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) next weekend. Thanks to Michelle Edwards and a bunch of internet sites I was able to finally track down address, phone and e-mail addresses for nearly all of these publishers. I've had great sucess working with many of them.
