   Extractions: "The women composers of today have advanced in technique, resourcefulness, and force, and even the younger composers have achieved some effects which the great masters themselves would never have dared to attempt. The present composers are getting away more and more from the idea that they must cater to the popular taste, and in expressing their individual ideas, are giving us music of real worth and beauty." American composer and pianist. She was the first significant female composer in America and one of the leading composers of the "New England School". By all measures, young Amy Marcy Cheney was a true prodigy. At one year she knew forty songs, always singing them at the same pitch. By age two she could improvise a countermelody to any melody her mother sang, and at age four, she could not only read four-part hymns at sight, but wrote her first pieces in her head and then sat down and played them on the piano. She began piano study at age six with her mother, and then studied with the finest pianists in Boston. She made her debut at sixteen, and in 1885 played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. From this point on, her career was influenced greatly by society's views of women. It was suggested that her desire to study composition would best be served by independent study, in part in the belief that women composed based on feeling rather than intellect. When she married the physician and amateur musician Henry Harris Aubrey Beach in 1885, he asked that she limit her concertizing to a few performances a year. Because of this, she focused on composition. After his death in 1910, she resumed her concert career in Europe and in this country.

Throughout her life, Beach wrote more than 150 numbered works ranging from chamber and orchestral works to church music and songs. Her early works show the influences of Wagner and Brahms, but she added her characteristic intensity and passion. In her later years, she moved beyond the late-Romantic style as her works became more chromatic and dissonant. Nevertheless, she retained an intense lyricism throughout her career as a composer.

A child prodigy, she was able to sing forty tunes accurately by age one; by age two she could improvise a countermelody to any melody her mother sang, she taught herself to read at age three, and began composing simple waltzes at the age of four. She began formal piano lessons with her mother at the age of six, and a year later started giving public recitals, playing works by Handel Beethoven Chopin , and her own pieces. In 1875, Beach's family moved to Boston , where they were advised to enter her into a European conservatory. Her parents opted for local training, hiring Ernst Perabo and later Carl Baermann as piano teachers. At age fourteen, Amy received her only formal training in composition with Junius W. Hill, with whom she studied harmony and counterpoint for a year. Other than this year of training, Amy was self-taught; she often learned by studying classical pieces, such as

    Extractions: aco homepage concert schedule Amy Beach and the birth of "Gaelic" Symphony In 1894, Amy Beach (1867-1944) began work on her Symphony in E-minor, ("Gaelic"), completing it in 1896. Four of the symphony's themes are traditional Irish-Gaelic melodies, hence the designation, "Gaelic." In choosing Irish music, Beach tapped into a rich heritage that had been part of the American musical mainstream for at least a century, and by the 1890s, was assimilated into the new genre called popular music. Beach, who signed all her music "Mrs. H. H. A. Beach," was the youngest member of the Boston composers' group, the country's first school of art music. Born Amy Marcy Cheney in the small town of Henniker, New Hampshire, at age four she began playing piano and composing. The family relocated to Boston in 1875, where she made her piano debut at sixteen, playing Moscheles Piano Concerto in G minor with orchestra. Critics found her musicianship and technical equipment superb. At her debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1885, she earned glowing reviews for her performance of Chopin's F-minor Concerto . Equally gifted in composition, her first big success came when Boston's Handel and Haydn Society gave the premiere of her Mass in E-flat, op. 5, a 75-minute work for solo quartet, chorus, organ, and orchestra. The premiere of the "Gaelic" Symphony, on 30 October 1896 was given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. She was now "one of the boys," or so composer George Whitefield Chadwick wrote, signaling acceptance by the established Boston composers: men were symphonists, not women.

    Extractions: Amy Marcy Beach (September 5, 1867 – December 27, 1944), an extraordinary and well-known American pianist, was an equally proficient and prolific composer of various genres of classical music. Amy Beach performed and composed at a time when even American male composers were unfairly compared to their European counterparts, and generally went unappreciated by musical critics for their abilities. Thus, as a woman and an American, she had an even greater barrier to overcome. Despite the obstacles, her musical genius in composition and piano performance made her the first successful female American composer and the first female American composer of a symphony, the "Gaelic Symphony". Later in life she became one of America's most celebrated musical ambassadors. Many of her compositions and performances were under her married name, Mrs. H.H.A.
