On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of Elise Hall, a pioneering musician in the history of the saxophone. The saxophone is a globally popular instrument, often closely associated with renowned players such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, or more recently, Kenny G. Less well known, however, is the historical presence of women saxophonists in the nineteenth century, shortly after the instrument's invention. Elise Hall (1853-1924), a prominent wealthy socialite in Boston at the turn of the twentieth century, defied social norms by mastering the saxophone, an unconventional instrument for a woman of her time. Despite her career's profound impact, Elise Hall remains relatively obscure in broader music communities. Her untiring work as an impresario, patron, and performer made a significant mark on the history of the instrument. Yet these contributions have been historically undervalued, largely due to gender bias. This collection of essays, written by mainly women saxophonists/scholars, re-evaluates Elise Hall's legacy beyond a discrete history, updating the narrative by highlighting the ways in which her identity and the saxophone itself have influenced historical accounts. By analyzing the sociocultural factors surrounding this innovative musician through a contemporary lens, the contributors challenge previously held narratives shaped by patriarchal structures and collectively affirm her place as one of the pioneers in the history of the saxophone.

Non, Mozart n’était pas une femme. Mais Mozart aurait pu être une femme : Maria Anna Mozart fut, comme son frère, un prodige de la musique, avant de devoir se marier et de disparaître de la scène. Résultat : personne ne se souvient d’elle. Qui peut se vanter de pouvoir citer ne serait-ce qu’une compositrice ? Connaissez-vous… La flamboyante Hildegarde de Bingen, femme de pouvoir et pionnière de la musique médiévale ? Ou encore Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, protégée de Louis XIV et claveciniste de génie ? D’autres, comme Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn ou Alma Mahler, ont vu leur talent et leur prénom rester dans l’ombre d’un grand homme. Compositrices, instrumentistes, cheffes d’orchestre, fondatrices d’ensembles… nombreuses sont celles qui ont dû renoncer au succès. Pourtant, la musique classique leur doit beaucoup. Et si on réécrivait l’histoire ?

Hat Schumanns Liederzyklus in unserer heutigen Musikkultur noch eine Daseinsberechtigung? Sind wir heute, wo sich unser Frauenbild gegenüber dem Biedermeier geradezu umgekehrt hat, nicht dazu angehalten, uns mit demjenigen des 19. Jahrhunderts historisch vertraut zu machen? Nicht das Was, das faktische Geschehen im Lebensbogen von Frauenliebe und -leben, sondern das Wie, die Qualität persönlicher Hingabe, ist das psychosensitive Material, welches dem Gedichtzyklus und besonders der Musik Schumanns eine unvergleichliche Sonderstellung einräumt. Neue Forschungsergebnisse werfen ein ganz anderes Licht auf die innere Logik des Liederzyklus. Das Buch legt zudem eine faszinierende Verflechtung von Motivik, Submotivik, Ansätzen von Leitmotivik und einem Spiel mit multiplen Symmetrien offen, welche diese Einheit gewährleisten. Ist es die gegenüber anderen Liederzyklen unerreichte Prägnanz einer neunteiligen Liederfolge, oder ist es ihre unverwechselbare emotionale Aura, die den Hörer - trotz geistiger Vorbehalte - in den Bann zieht? Die musikalische Analyse gibt ebenso Antworten zu psychologischen Wechselwirkungen wie zu musikalischen Wirkungsweisen und Interpretationsansätzen

A Women's History of the Beatles is the first book to offer a detailed presentation of the band's social and cultural impact as understood through the experiences and lives of women. Drawing on a mix of interviews, archival research, textual analysis, and autoethnography, this scholarly work depicts how the Beatles have profoundly shaped and enriched the lives of women, while also reexamining key, influential female figures within the group's history. Organized topically based on key themes important to the Beatles story, each chapter uncovers the varied and multifaceted relationships women have had with the band, whether face-to-face and intimately or parasocially through mediated, popular culture. Set within a socio-historical context that charts changing gender norms since the early 1960s, these narratives consider how the Beatles have affected women's lives across three generations. Providing a fresh perspective of a well-known tale, this is a cultural history that moves far beyond the screams of Beatlemania to offer a more comprehensive understanding of what the now iconic band has meant to women over the course of six decades.

"Uncovering Music of Early European Women (1250 - 1750) brings together nine essays that investigate aspects of female music-making and musical experience in the medieval and early modern periods. Part I, "Notes from the Underground," treats the spirituality of women in solitude and in community. Parts II and III, "Interlude" and "Music for Royal Rivals," respond to Joan Kelly's famous feminist question and suggest that women of a certain stature did have a Renaissance. Part IV, "Serenissime Sirene," plays with the notion of the allure of music and its risks in Venice during the Baroque. The process of uncovering requires close listening to women's creative endeavors in an ongoing effort to piece together equitably the terrain of early music. Contributors include: Cynthia J. Cyrus, Claire Fontijn, Catherine E. Gordon, Laura Jeppesen, Eva Kuhn, Anne MacNeil, Jason Stoessel, Elizabeth Randell Upton, and Laurence Wuidar. An invaluable book for college students and scholars interested in the social and cultural meanings of women in early music"--
