Talk:List of female composers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shouldn't it be "female" composers? Maybe some young people (i.e. Mozart) composed. Dmsar 00:05 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

also, BTW, shouln't this be classical? Because there are a lot of popular women who write and compose songs, i.e. Meredith Brooks, Sara MacClaughlin... Dmsar 00:07 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I agree it should be "female". I'm not sure about "classical" - people who just write songs are normally called "songwriters", aren't they? Anyway, I'll move this to List of female composers, and if you want to move it somewhere else with "classical" in the title, feel free. --Camembert
Actually, as the article itself says "classical", I guess it would make sense to put that in the title (I didn't like it because it could be said to exclude film composers, for example). Anyway, as I say, I'll leave it to you (or somebody else). --Camembert

Don't leave it to me... everytime I try to move something I either piss people off or screw it up. haha. Dmsar 10:09 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

i disagree! both terms are possible, but they do have different connotations! (speaking from a women's studies perspective) i feel that the term "female composers" puts undue emphasis on the women's physical sex (and/or gender identity) and obscures the real reason "women composers" were so rare (back in those days): because of sexism, socially and professionally. who knows if maybe some women were really intersexed? or if some men secretly cross-dressed? it doesn't matter! as feminists, we admire these historical "women composers" not for being female per se, but because they were able to overcome societal hurdles, and pave the way for future women musicians/composers. bethchen 2006.0214.1526 (EST)

Source on Anne Boleyn if anyone is curious: Historical Anthology of Music by Women (ISBN 0253212960), Indiana University Press, 1986. Antandrus 17:28, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I notice that someone removed Anne Boleyn; I put her back. She appears with one composition in the anthology listed above, and listed under "references" in the article; while no autograph manuscript of the piece remains, I believe the attribution is reliable enough to allow her a place on the list. The piece in question "O Deathe, rock me asleepe" was written while she was awaiting execution in the Tower of London. Antandrus (talk) 17:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Women composers

Wouldn't this list be redundant if Category:Women composers were populated? Karol 12:30, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC) P.S.: I just ran through this list, and there seems to be alot of duplicates... for instance, Fanny Mendelssohn is there twice.

No: lists are not the same as categories. For one thing, you cannot put redlinks in a category, and you need redlinks to know which entries still need to be written. Also you cannot annotate a category (for example, include the birth and death dates). Antandrus (talk) 14:38, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Ha! Antandrus, duplication of effort; see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 14:43, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

OK... case closed :) Thanks for pointing out the distance. Refer also to discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers#Women composers. I've added the list to the category, hope that's right. Karol 15:33, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A Bigger List

I've just been "exploring" New Grove, and I've figured out they have a list of women composers, which currently has 578 articles in it. So that's something to aim for. I'm working on it. Makemi 06:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Troubadours / Trouvères / Trobairitz

I'm guessing no one is actually watching this, but what would people think of one article, which would list and give info for all of the female troubadours. There's just so little info which is still around, I think it's worthwhile, but after having added a couple articles on these women, I think almost more could be said if they were collapsed into one article. See, for instance: Azalais de Porcairagues, Castelloza,Comtessa de Dia. Makemi 06:14, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I think you could do that. It would be an interesting article. (I usually make articles for individual composers, but when you have only one line's worth of information on each of ten composers who can otherwise be grouped together, why not?) Antandrus (talk) 06:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Cool, I'll work on it later, and hopefully get some larger background (larger societal mvmt. etc.), and link it from the Troubadour page. Hey! I might even get to list my dad's book as a source :) Makemi 06:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
hey, that's a great idea! just make sure you don't conflate the women troubadours and women trouvères (official term: "trobairitz"). bethchen 2006.0214.1456 (EST)
Sorry, I'm a little confused. According to what I've read so far, trobairitz is the term for a woman troubadour, not a a woman trouvere (although I haven't looked into the latter yet). Makemi 21:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC) ps. a beginning at User:Makemi/Workspace
oops! you're right! (see how easy it is to get them mixed up?) in any case, there is currently no wikipedia page for "trobairitz". bethchen 2006.0214.2100 (EST)

Alright, it took me a while but I have now created the page Trobairitz. It still needs some work, but at least it's there. If anyone comes across info on another trobairitz, I encourage you to toss it on in there. Makemi 04:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Huh, I must have been distracted when this happened - I think it makes sense for this list to have redlinks. That's part of why we have lists, as opposed to categories. Well, I've re-added a bunch of these names, and will probably add more. I think we should include every woman composer who is sufficiently notable to have a WP article on her on this list.

Absolutely. Redlinks are good. They are how the encyclopedia grows. Otherwise how will we know what is missing? On lists, redlinks are not only good, they're essential. Antandrus (talk) 02:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] birth/deathdates for a few redlinked composers born around 1904

[1] confirms (if it is confirmation) that Martha Alter died in 1976, perhaps confirmed further by [2]. For Andrée Bonhomme (Dec 1 1905-Mar 1 1982), this site. For Dinorá de Carvalho (relative of Eleazar de Carvalho?) "Brainyhistory" does claim June 1 1905 but as ever I have no clue where they get their information. this site agrees 1903-2000 for Rhoda Coghill. Avril Coleridge-Taylor, daughter of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, died 1998 according to British Library this link. Schissel | Sound the Note! 22:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Schissel. I actually meant in general those who were born very early in this century but who didn't have death dates, but that's also useful. Mak (talk) 01:33, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List organisation

I'm working on putting this list in birth order, and it occurs to me that this might be a more informative way for this list to be organised. Any thoughts? If there are no objections, I'll probably cut and paste it over from my userspace once I'm done (it's taking a surprisingly long time). Mak (talk) 01:33, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
