@NicUalraig@WomeninMusicUK (This doesn't mean I don't want your suggestions! Just that they might go straight into my backlog for a few more weeks or months -- however long this PhD takes to wrap up.)
@NicUalraig@WomeninMusicUK If you know of women composers writing sacred choral music in languages that are not represented in that anthology or on https://t.co/jwu2WFH5e6 then please do let me know.
(Bear in mind also that I'm not currently updating often due to PhD work.)
Fantastic afternoon and evening thanks to @MulofVoy, @seam100 and the choir of @Selwyn1882. The anthology "sacred music by women composers" is excellent, there is something in there for every SATB church choir.
The launch of the Anthology of Sacred Music by Women Composers is on Sunday 17 November. https://t.co/aUhNda4i3X You are very welcome to join us. If you would like copies, you'll need to order them in advance: [email protected] @MulofVoy
@commie_caro @hutchingsmusic @McCaldinArts Sad reality is that if most of someone's exposure to liturgical choral music is from going to church services, they won't hear music by women very often.
I'm looking forward to updating the website much more frequently once the PhD is submitted! I have a huge backlog to clear.
I really want to get back to updating the blog regularly, and a *whole bunch* of other stuff I have ideas for. I want an e-mail list for composers, and a lot more featured content, and The Order Of The Pencil... So many things. So much good music by people who aren't men.
Starting a black female composer thread. Tag a black female composer or if you’re one post a clip of one of your pieces and say where you live. I’ll start. This piece is called “Burgundy In Autumn” I live in Brooklyn, NY.
It turns out trying to do that plus a PhD plus making a living composing plus being chronically ill plus having ADHD is... not sustainable.
So for now I am focusing on the PhD work. After that, I will set aside time to focus on Cecilia's List again.

"You are sweeter than milk and honey, you are peerless among thousands, I love you more than any." Emily Hazrati's lush setting of letters between two medieval nuns is gorgeous! We're performing it on Sat in @UnivOxford 🌈 https://t.co/v4jGejmUul #medievaltwitter@erik_kaars
