Re: Women Composers
Also from the Swedish Heritage Site, a Humoresk by Helene Munktell.
Munktell, Helena (Mathilda)
(b Grycksbo, Dalarna, 24 Nov 1852; d Stockholm, 10 Sept 1919). Swedish composer. Her father was a talented amateur musician and a successful industrialist. Her mother was well educated and arranged lively salons in Stockholm. Munktell was taught the piano by Carl Fexer and composition by Ludvig Norman, Johan Lindegren and Joseph Dente. She studied in Paris (1877–9) and, until about 1910, spent every winter there. Composition, which she studied with Benjamin Godard (1885–92), gradually became her main interest. About 1890 she met d’Indy, with whom she continued her studies (c1892–1910). She became a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Music in 1915.
Munktell made a name for herself as a composer in Stockholm in 1885 with songs such as Sof, sof and Ater i Sorrento, which showed an individual style (with some French influence) and were well received. During the 1890s she was especially productive, composing songs and choral works. Her ballad for baritone and orchestra Isjungfrun (Vision polaire), composed in 1889, was performed in Paris at the Salle Pleyel and her comic opera In Firenze was given in Stockholm in 1889 and 1891.

Re: Women Composers
Hey do you have the complete set of the Op.16? Thanks in advancemusiclife217 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 6:03 am Signe Lund-Skabo…..
there was a nice recording recently made of her Op. 34 pieces. The Op. 61 No. 01 - I Baaten (On A Boat) is nice also... except that I am missing all scores!
Her most famous piece seems to have been Op. 16 No. 01 - Legende ...I leave it here, as a start.

I'm sorry that I do not, but perhaps a copy can be ordered from Swedish library:dhruvapunde wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:13 amHey do you have the complete set of the Op.16? Thanks in advancemusiclife217 wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 6:03 am Signe Lund-Skabo…..

There was also a wonderful new disc of her music released, though, alas, the scores are hard to find. Perhaps the pianist can be reached also for assistance.

Re: Women Composers
Hi, new to this site. Mel Bonis is also a wonderful French late-Romantic composer, who wrote piano music, as well as chamber music.
