Even as the names of contemporary female musicians found their way into eighteenth-century lexicons, e.g., Johann Gottfried Walther\u2019s <em>Musicalisches Lexicon<\/em> (Leipzig, 1732), entries for famous opera singers far surpassed those of composers. This lack of representation alludes to social expectation and bias: women could thrive in the world of music by filling roles deemed appropriate to their gender. In the light of such social constraint, the legacy of women composers is remarkably rich. Our upcoming concert will showcase many of these little-known compositions, delivering them from the margins to the fore.<\/p>\n<p>Given in collaboration with <em>A Modern Reveal<\/em>, the program features sixteen songs by fifteen different composers, some of whom will no doubt be familiar to music scholars and enthusiasts: among those representing the early baroque is Francesca Caccini (1587-1646), an employee of the Medici family who is recognized as the first woman to compose opera; the formidable composer-pianist Clara Schumann (1819-1896), who was dubbed \u201cQueen of the Piano\u201d in the age of Romanticism; Amy Beach (1867-1944), the first American woman to achieve distinction as a composer of large-scale art music; and the prolific Libby Larsen (<em>b<\/em>. 1950), whose catalog comprises more than 400 works, including several operas.<\/p>\n<p>The content of the program spans more than four hundred years; as a result, there is great variety in material both lyrical and musical. The duet &#8220;Il gondoliere,&#8221; by Maria Malibran (1808-1836), belongs to the genre known as the barcarole (<em>It<\/em>. barcarola). The traditional song of the gondolier, the barcarole (6\/8 time signature) depicts the lilting motion of the iconic vessels that traverse the waters of Venice. Another example is the <em>Lied<\/em> \u201cVerlust\u201d (Loss), a setting of the poem \u201cUnd w\u00fcssten\u2019s die Blumen\u201d (If the Little Flowers Knew) by Fanny Hensel (1805-1847). Hensel largely evades the tonic and closes the song with an unresolved dominant, reflecting the inconsolable anguish of Heinrich Heine\u2019s text. Finally, a rendition of \u201cI\u2019m Nobody\u201d will offer the listener a blend of modern music and nineteenth-century wit. Lori Laitman (<em>b<\/em>. 1955) composed the bouncy and comical setting, part of a cycle entitled <em>Four Dickinson Songs<\/em> (1996). In short, the stylistic diversity of this program ensures something for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to join us on Wednesday, October 30, for this special celebration of women composers.
