Description

Product Description So You Want to Sing Music by Women opens wide a vast repertoire of vocal music written by women to advocate for widespread inclusion of this too-often neglected work in performance repertoire. Hoch and Lister provide a historical and contemporary perspective, chronicling the Western art music canon while also addressing contemporary trends in music theater and CCM. In addition to providing a historical overview and social context in which women created music, this volume explores the music of hundreds of historical and contemporary women composers, such as Hildegard von Bingen, Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger, Cathy Berberian, Erykah Badu, and Sara Bareilles. In addition to discussions of art song, opera, choral music, and avant garde/experimental music, Erin Guinup and Amanda Wansa Morgan also contribute chapters devoted to music theater, CCM, and advocacy for women composers. Interviews with high-profile composers including Lori Laitman, Rosephanye Powell, Meredith Monk, Georgia Stitt provide accounts from the frontlines of today's composing world. Additional chapters by Scott McCoy and Wendy LeBorgne address vocal technique and health, and Matthew Edwards provides guidance for working with sound technology. The So You Want to Sing series is produced in partnership with the National Association of Teachers of Singing. Like all books in the series, So You Want to Sing Music by Women features online supplemental material on the NATS website. Please visit www.nats.org to access style-specific exercises, audio and video files, and additional resources. Review Hoch and Lister have provided an invaluable, and very timely resource for teachers, students, and professional singers who are taking the long-overdue steps to diversify their repertories and be more inclusive. The authors present a considerable amount of material in a way that holds the reader's attention without becoming overwhelming and have, for the most part, successfully provided the reader with an extensive overview of the contribution of women composers to vocal music as well as producing the useful and fully comprehensive resource to anyone taking the steps to actively educate themselves on the subject.--Voice and Speech Review Hoch and Lister offer a panoramic view of the role of women in music. The vista is expansive, encompassing notable composers and performers from Western classical music, music theater, and commercial music. . . . Singers, and indeed anyone who wants to broaden their knowledge of women composers in a wide range of musical styles, will find this book informative, and a useful introduction to the topic.--Journal of Singing Hoch and Lister highlight the fact that the last few decades have seen an increased interest in exploring the contributions of women to the canon of Western classical music, which they call a "long-overdue appearance of 'women in music' as an academic subject." So You Want to Sing Music by Women uniquely contributes to this appearance by focusing specifically on the vocal music of women composers and by including composers of multiple genres outside of the classical realm. While this inclusive approach precludes an exhaustive exploration of the subject matter, the book nevertheless plays an essential role by giving a voice to composers who have been unjustly neglected.--Classical Singer Magazine If you believe that So You Think You Want to Sing Music by Women is another version of Women Composers for Dummies, you must seriously reconsider. Its intention is earnest and passionate; its writing is erudite and understandable; and its potential effects could change the way we think of educating and preparing the next generation of feminists, musicians, and human beings. The copy read by this reviewer is marred by underlined, starred passages, many question marks, and innumerable dog-eared pages. Exactly the way a book should be read--devoured!--IAWM Journal (International Alliance for Women in Music) A
