Review

"Dr. Heinrich's painstaking and exhaustive research has resulted in a book that will grow in popularity as it becomes known. It is not only vastly informative, it is timely. The contributions of women in the music profession are receiving more and deserved attention, and this wonderful resource work can only enhance the effort. There are many interesting discoveries to be made even when casually perusing the book, and many persons will find intriguing new repertoire suggestions and facts never before published."-Frederick Swann Director of Music and Organist The Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, California

Book Description

This reference work catalogues music for organ and harpsichord written by over 700 women composers from 40 countries. Compiler Adel Heinrich has expanded the organ and harpsichord repertoire to include choir and instruments accompanying organ and harpsichord. In addition to biographies for each woman, she provides listings of individual compositions and includes descriptions and sources whenever possible. Each composition is listed in both the instrumentation index and the title index. Publishers, library sources and recording companies with their addresses are also provided. there is also a chronological listing of composers by country. Two appendices list a large number of women who have either written music for organ and harpsichord with no specific titles known, or have performed on one or both instruments. This reference work should be a valuable resource for organists, teachers, choral conductors and planners of festivals and recitals.
