Talk:List of women composers by birth date

message: Shouldn't it be "female" composers?  Maybe some young people (i.e. Mozart) composed.

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...

: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 (), Indiana University Press, 1986. Antandrus 17:28, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: 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)

text: I have attempted to add Bianca Maria Meda to the list of 17th century female composers, however Wiki is bizarrely not accepting the edit. Is there a possibility that someone else could add her to the list? She composed a set of motets in 1691. Couperin clavecin (talk) 03:46, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)

::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.

message: Hello,
I added recently several female composers in the article "list of female composers". But of course, Wikipedia don't have articles about all of them, so there was some red links. And a user named Epeefleche has deleted all the red link names. But according to me, a list (instead of a category) must repertory ALL the names (even the female composers without article on wikipedia). So do I repertory the "red-linked-names", do I delete them, or do I add an external links toward an internet site which has an article for each name ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.243.236.99 (talk) 10:25, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The general rule is that if an article COULD be made, it's allowed. Having a ref toward the notability -- emphatically NOT a direct link -- would not be a bad thing as a temporary measure. It has to be a reliable source establishing notability. But if there's no way a person could have an article that wouldn't be deleted, then they should not be added. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 13:48, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

text: Every language Wikipedia establishes its own notability guidelines.  Some are more strict than we are (German, for example); others less.  We should determine whether or not a redlinked name can stay based on our own notability guideline (links to it provided above). Antandrus  (talk) 14:11, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: More information would be helpful.  For example, do the articles on other wikis have RS-backed info that reflects both the notability of the person per eng wp standards, and that they are female composers, their birth dates, etc., as is suggested by listing them on the list?--Epeefleche (talk) 22:29, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

message: There are nine listed in the text. Although it is not said, it might be implied that these are the best women classical composers? At any rate there are other lists, which can be compared.  Radio station WQXR, New York, posted on March 11, 2011 a list "Top 5 Women Composers": Clara Schumann 1819–1896, Fanny Mendelssohn 1805—1847, Amy Beach 1867–1944, Hildegard von Bingen 1098—1179, and Lili Boulanger 1893—1918. These five are all amongst the 9 of today. So far, so good. 
The Kapralova Society website gives, besides a long list of female composers, a short list of 6, verbal "portraits of selected women composers", Clara S., Fanny M., Amy Beach,
Ethel Smyth 1858-1894, and two composers of special interest to the Society, Agathe Backer-Grøndahl, and Vitĕzslava Kaprálová 1915—1940, whose short life gave rise to commemoration. Marlindale (talk) 04:19, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Was Sappho technically a composer? She wrote lyric poetry " designed to be accompanied by music". Did she write this music? OTOH, back then little difference was made between poetry and music. Then again, the term mousike was used for all the arts associated with the Muses... Thoughts?

replies: text: This is a perennial problem. Sappho is "traditionally" credited with various musical accomplishments, but of course there is no surviving music by her. Not only that, but the "traditional" attributions are vague, unlikely, and non-contemporary. For example, Pseudo-Plutarch claims she invented the Mixolydian tonos, which is a fairly tall claim to start with. Add to this the fact that Pseudo-Plutarch is generally dated about a millenium after Sappho's time, and that he vaguely waves his hand at Aristoxenus as his authority, but there is nothing in the surviving Aristoxenian literature about this, and you have got a very large pile of horse feathers.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 03:44, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

text: See the article Mixolydian mode for an even more second-hand (fourth-hand?) source for Pseudo-Plutarch.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 06:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
