#ClassicsaDay #Classical1925 Week 3
For January 2025 the Classics a Day team challenges you to look back a century. The "modern" era of music was well underway in 1925. Some of the works composed still shock audiences today.
#ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth Week 1, 2024
What continually surprises me is how much music is yet to be discovered from earlier centuries. And also how much of it was known at the time, but somehow fell into obscurity.
#ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth Week 3, 2023
Every year when we do this theme, I discover more female composers whose music I have never heard before. But it's music that deserves to be heard -- and more than once.
#ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth 2022 Week 5
The Classics a Day team chose Women's History Month as the theme for March. Actually, it's been the March theme for the past five years. And there are still many composers to explore.
#Classicsaday #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 Week 1
February is Black History Month, and a great opportunity to explore the music of black composers. That's what the Classics a Day team felt, anyway.
#ClassicsaDay #Classical1922 Week 4
It turns out that 1922 was quite an eventful year! Here are my posts for the fourth and final week of #ClassicsaDay #Classical1922.
#ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth Week 5
Classical audiences might be aware that there are contemporary female composers. But perhaps not so aware (with the exception of Hildegard von Bingen) of how many women composed music throughout the centuries.
