Organ and Harpsichord Music by Women Composers: An Annotated Catalog

Compiler Adel Heinrich has expanded the organ and harpsichord repertoire to include choir and instruments accompanying organ and harpsichord. In addition to biographies for each woman, she provides listings of individual compositions and includes descriptions and sources whenever possible. Each composition is listed in both the instrumentation index and the title index. Publishers, library sources and recording companies with their addresses are also provided. there is also a chronological listing of composers by country. Two appendices list a large number of women who have either written music for organ and harpsichord with no specific titles known, or have performed on one or both instruments. This reference work should be a valuable resource for organists, teachers, choral conductors and planners of festivals and recitals.
