AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #94 Happy Birthday, Amy Beach

Amy Beach, a mostly forgotten composer, is just a footnote in most music history textbooks. Why? This week was her birthday, and I’ve been listening to her symphonic music, and loving it. Her music is brilliant, challenging, and deserves its place in American history.

 

Also on today’s show: Nina Simone, Missy Mazzoli, and Mary Jane Leach. In this episode of American Highways, pianist Guy Livingston brings us four great American women composers.
