Liza Lehmann Gemein- Sam Mit Ihren Eltern in Italien, Bevor Die Familie 1867 Nach London Zurückkehrte Lehmann, Liza derations.“ „Dieses Album belegt den bemerkenswerten musikali- schen Geschmack und die Fähigkeiten der Komponistin. Sie ist bereits weithin als hervorragende Sängerin be- kannt, aber diese Lieder zeigen, dass ihr musikalisches Können noch weit über ihre interpretatorischen Fähigkei- ten, hinausgeht. Die Texte stammen aus unterschiedli- chen Quellen, und die musikalische Verarbeitung ist in al- len Fällen durch und durch künstlerisch und voller Ausd- ruck. Die Begleitungen sind gut geschrieben, und die Sammlung wird von jenen hoch gelobt, die in voller Brei- te den Wert von Liedern zu schätzen wissen, die für höhe- re Zwecke als kommerzielle geschrieben wurden.“ („The Musical Times“ am 1.

    Good afternoon. My name is Keiley Vieau and I am presenting this academic recital on the topic of female composers throughout history. We will discuss seven composers, all who have been underrepresented in the vocal music canon. The title of this thesis is Bridging the Gap. My hope is to showcase music by female composers as well as discuss the societal struggles faced by women in the field of composition. Historically, women have been discouraged from participating in the arts by societal conventions. This is due largely to gender roles, the patriarchy, and social compliance. Marriage was one of the only economic options for women during pre-colonial times but also perpetuated prescribed gender roles. Society viewed men as the “bread winners” and women as the caretakers. Womens’ attempt to combat this began as early as the 12th century with Hildegard von Bingen. Becoming a nun gave her a venue to compose and showcase her work, but her use of unconventional melodic leaps eventually led to challenges by those who sought to assert their dominance over her creativity. Up to this point, women could compose but wouldn’t be published unless they used a pseudonym or only their initials. This is a form of impression management that continues to be utilized as a way for women to control society’s perception of them and bypass stereotypes. The first piece you will be hearing is by Barbara Strozzi, a Baroque era composer born in Venice, Italy. The Strozzi estate house the Academia degli Unisoni, or group of like-minded thinkers. It was here that she showcased her compositions for the public, singing and accompanying herself on lute.

The system of panegyric has one drawback, though it may be considered an indirect one ; if superlatives are spread too thick, like the butter in the moving ballad of "The Walrus and the Carpenter," over individuals whose ultimate position in the history of art must at present be a little uncertain,
