"To some, the statistics quoted at the beginning of Analytical Essays on Women Composers may seem startling. The paucity of analytical articles discussing music by women -- a mere 1.51 percent in eight noteworthy music theory and analysis journals -- would seem inexplicable from any vantage point that regards diversity as a factor worthy of consideration. Editors Laurel Parsons and Brenda Ravenscroft are respected in the field and have made efforts with their scholarship, and with this volume, to bridge the divide. While the essays vary in difficulty, making the target audience somewhat variable, there are readings suited to keeping both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as their instructors and researchers, amply diverted ... [T]he book's figures and examples are well engraved to explicate concepts, and the aforementioned inclusion of online recordings is an excellent accompaniment to those visual elements ... This is a valuable and long overdue book." -- Tempo, "To some, the statistics quoted at the beginning of Analytical Essays on Women Composers may seem startling.

Synopsis
Analytical Essays on Music by Women Composers: Concert Music, 1960-2000 is the first to appear in an exciting a four volume series devoted to the work of women composers across Western art music history. Featuring rich analyses and detailed study by the most reputed music theorists in the field, along with brief biographical sketches for each composer, this collection brings to the fore the essential repertoire of a range of important composers, many ofwhom otherwise stand outside the standard canon., Over the past 30 years, musicologists have produced a remarkable new body of research literature focusing on the lives and careers of women composers in their socio-historical contexts. But detailed analysis and discussion of the works created by these composers are still extremely rare. This is particularly true in the domain of music theory, where scholarly work continues to focus almost exclusively on male composers. Moreover, while the number of performances,broadcasts, and recordings of music by women has unquestionably grown, these works remain significantly underrepresented in comparison to music by male composers. Addressing these deficits is not simplya matter of rectifying a scholarly gender imbalance: the lack of knowledge surrounding the music of female composers means that scholars, performers, and the general public remain unfamiliar with a large body of exciting repertoire.Analytical Essays on Music by Women Composers: Concert Music, 1960-2000 is the first to appear in a groundbreaking four-volume series devoted to compositions by women across Western art music history. Each chapter opens with a briefbiographical sketch of the composer before presenting an in-depth critical-analytic exploration of a single representative composition, linking analytical observations with questions of meaning and sociohistoricalcontext. Chapters are grouped thematically by analytical approach into three sections, each of which places the analytical methods used in the essays that follow into the context of late twentieth-century ideas and trends.
