She is female masked. But I think she's rather a singer than a composer.

Sigh. I kinda wish people weren't calling it "Chick" Composer day on the queue. I think that's belittling. It makes it sound like they're not as good composers, like how "chick flick" is a pejorative term.

Voted for yes. We should have that female composer theme day.

Apparently, I'm not the only one with this idea. Granted this is for Broadway, but I still think it's something to appreciate.

It's that day again! I added Sarah Class to the list at the top of this thread, but I'm sure I'm missing some female composers. Anybody got ideas?

Angela Morley, Jane Antonia Cornish...

LadyInque · Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2014 1:31 pm Post subject:

Thanks! I added Cornish to the master list, but SST doesn't seem to have any albums by Morley.

Cecile Corbel should also be included in the list.

Hey! Did you know there's a Shirley Walker award for diversity in film music? Well, you do now.

Thanks for the assist, mol. Though I'm not sure they all count as composers.

Apparantly Mol didn't get all female composers I requested yesterday:

Nani Garcia
Wakana Hara
Zaz

(...)

I'm sorry. Due to my mistake part of this Dutchbat's post is missing. I clicked a wrong button wanting to quote it and edited the post instead. When I realized what I did I was unable to reconstruct the original text.
In original post there were some remarks about mentioned composers. Dutch also expressed his opinion about the fact that lots of members kept requesting male composers on March 8th, dwarfing a bit the idea of Female Composers' Day - molossus
