BOOK

This collection of new interviews with twenty-five accomplished
female composers substantially advances our knowledge of the
work, experiences, compositional approaches, and musical
intentions of a diverse group of creative individuals. With
personal anecdotes and sometimes surprising intimacy and humor
these wide-ranging conversations represent the diversity of women
composing music in the United States from the mid-twentieth
century into the twenty-first. The composers work in a variety of
genres including classical, jazz, multimedia, or collaborative
forms for the stage, film, and video games. Their interviews
illuminate questions about the status of women composers in
America, the role of women in musical performance and education
the creative process and inspiration, the experiences and
qualities that contemporary composers bring to their craft, and
balancing creative and personal lives. Candidly sharing their
experiences, advice, and views, these vibrant, thoughtful, and
creative women open new perspectives on the prospects and
possibilities of making music in a changing world
