GIA Publications lists a new 844-page reference, Choral Repertoire by Women Composers, designed to help choral educators and students explore works by more than 200 women composers spanning different time periods and geographic locations.
GIA Publications reported the volume includes nearly 2,000 unique works with voicings, durations, and publisher information, making it suitable for choirs of varied ages and experience. The book’s 56 contributing authors are choral scholars and music educators who work with singers of all ages.
Co-authors Hilary Apfelstadt and Alan Troy Davis bring public school and university teaching experience to the project, which GIA describes as a timely resource for expanding knowledge of historical and contemporary women composers in classroom and concert settings.
