Publisher's blurb:
This introduction to three contemporary British women composers explores their major choral works as well as the struggles to have their work performed. Lutyens, Maconchy and Musgrave have all earned solid reputations in Britain during their lifetimes; however, their work has been relatively unknown, especially to musicians and audiences in the United States. Roma analyzes the compositional techniques used by these three composers, showing that their choral music reveals them to be substantial, prolific, collegial composers who are representative of major trends in 20th-century British choral composition.
