WINNER OF OUR MARCH QUIZ!
3/01/24: No one guessed the work, Cécile Chaminade's Love held captive. Listen to the excerpt.
WINNING ADVICE FROM DEBORAH HAYES, OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL MUSICAL DETECTIVE
My method is easy: I check the broadcast archives.
Why do I bother? The answer is that I learn about a lot of music as I search. Although over the years I have heard music by most historical women composers, especially when I was teaching women's history in music, the quiz excerpts are often pieces I don't recognize, let alone know well.
When I taught music history, most of our exams for graduate students included writing about "unknowns," that is, excerpts from larger pieces, as in these quizzes. Students were to describe what stylistic features they found significant as educated listeners. They weren't asked simply to name the composer and piece. In fact they usually had more to say if they didn't recognize exactly what piece it was.
The "Into the Light" January 2017 piece was one I didn't know at all, although Barbara Pentland's name is very familiar. I listened to the excerpt and heard a wind ensemble, some kind of chamber ensemble (one player to a part) with brass as well as winds. I went through the broadcast index year by year with a find/search command for "wind' on each page. I started with 2010. Nothing. The 2009 broadcasts listed a 'wind' piece for flute and piano and one for a wind trio. Neither was big enough a group. The 2008 broadcasts included wind symphony works, mostly by Cindy McTee; they were too big. In 2007, my search term 'wind' took me to Barbara Pentland's wind octet. Hmm... Pentland sounded likely, I listened to the excerpt in the 2007 list. Eureka!
