Abstract: | For millennia, women have been involved in the history of music. All too often their stories are left out of the larger narrative. Women composers are underrepresented in music history books and on concert programs. Feminism and gender studies have helped further the cause of women in music. Increasingly more organizations such as The Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy and The Institute for Composer Diversity are advocating for more performances of historic and contemporary women composers. This document examines the struggles of four women composers who were writing mostly tonal late-romantic and early-twentieth century music that spanned 100 years. This document will highlight the compositions of Alma Schindler-Mahler, Florence Beatrice Price, María Teresa Prieto, and Yuliya Veysberg. By highlighting some lesser known women composers, I hope to add to the growing interest of works composed by women. |
