In recent years, the choral profession has become especially mindful of recognizing a broad spectrum of composers, but scholarly materials have not kept pace. In fact, a survey of the available academic writings on choral music reveals a startling lack of information about women composers.
Choral Repertoire by Women Composers addresses this gap by highlighting the lives and music of more than 200 women choral composers spanning different time periods and geographic locations. Their choral works—expressive, compelling, and innovative—represent a diversity of styles and are suitable for choirs of varied ages and experience. Nearly 2,000 unique works are listed in this edition.
Though impossible to include every deserving composer and piece, this timely volume covers considerable ground, spotlighting the important contributions women composers have made to choral music throughout history and across the world.
Hilary Apfelstadt is a choral conductor whose experience ranges from teaching public school to university students, and working with community and church choirs. She is a published author with particular interest in choral pedagogy, music for treble voices, and Canadian repertoire. Retired from the University of Toronto, she is a past national president of the American Choral Directors Association.
Alan Davis is a conductor, music educator, and voice teacher who has taught in public high schools in Oregon, Colorado, and California. He recently completed the DMA degree in choral conducting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and holds additional degrees in choral conducting and music education. His research interests include choral intonation, vocal pedagogy, and choral repertoire by women composers.
The book’s 56 contributing authors are choral scholars and music educators who work with singers of all ages. Some are composers themselves.
