x, 100 p. : music / This study looks at the lives of female musicians who lived and worked in Oregon in the early twentieth century in order to answer questions about what musical opportunities were available to them and what musical life may have been like. In this study I am looking at the lives of the composers, performers, and music teachers, Ethel Edick Burtt (1886-1974) and Mary Evelene Calbreath (1895-1972). Mary Evelene Calbreath was a prominent Portland musician and composer. Her works were performed frequently in Portland and were written about newspapers. Ethel Edick Burtt composed piano pieces and songs, and performances of them were advertised in newspapers. Her life was remarkable enough to make it into encyclopedias like the <italic>Who's Who, Cohen,</italic> and the <italic>MacMillan.</italic> For this study I use archival material, newspaper advertisements and articles, and secondary sources about Portland and Oregon history. / Committee in charge: Anne Dhu McLucas, Chair; Lori Kruckenberg, Member; Loren Kajikawa, Member

As secondary objectives we search for the contribution to the national repertoire, in the sense of giving visibility to works not much known and played, and to highlight the participation of women in the scenario of Brazilian musical composition, turning the attention to the production of guitar music. To find the works, various search engines were used, such as: catalogs of works, books, as well as interviews conducted during the research. The composers found here are: Lina Pires de Campos, Adelaide Pereira da Silva, Eunice Katunda, Esther Scliar and Maria Helena da Costa. Of the diverse works found, we selected only one piece of each composer, representing their languages and stylistic aspects. The main reference used for the analysis was the book by John White (1976), The Analysis of Music. We also include the precepts of Schoenberg (1996) and Kostka (1999). The results found were some stylistic similarity between some works analyzed here, as well as features that dialogue with the stylistic aspects of the analyzed period. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar e apresentar um breve relato biográfico e a obra de compositoras brasileiras compostas na década de 1970. Entre os objetivos secundários estão a contribuição para o repertório violonístico nacional, no sentido de dar visibilidade a obras pouco conhecidas e tocadas, e evidenciar a participação da mulher no cenário da composição musical brasileira, voltando o olhar para a produção violonística. Para encontrar as obras, foram utilizadas fontes de busca diversas, como: catálogos de obras, livros, bem como entrevistas realizadas durante a pesquisa. As compositoras encontradas e aqui abordadas são: Lina Pires de Campos, Adelaide Pereira da Silva, Eunice Katunda, Esther Scliar e Maria Helena da Costa. Das diversas obras encontradas, selecionamos apenas uma peça de cada compositora, representando suas linguagens e vertentes estilísticas. O referencial principal utilizado para as análises foi o livro de John White (1976), The Analysis of Music. Incluímos ainda os preceitos de Schoenberg (1996) e Kostka (1999). Os resultados encontrados foram algumas congruências estilísticas entre algumas obras aqui analisadas, bem como aspectos que dialogam com as vertentes estilísticas do período analisado.

Orientadora: Lúcia Helena Oliveira Silva / Banca: Maria de Fátima Cunha / Banca: Wilton Carlos Lima da Silva / Resumo: Nesse trabalho analisaremos a atuação de duas cantoras e compositoras de grande talento no cenário musical, antes monopolizado pelos homens, Dolores Duran e Maysa, ambas com uma linguagem poética na qual o amor era comumente retratado enquanto fossa, ilusão e dor em canções que, cheias de sentimentos e emoções, expressavam o sentimento de perda, as desesperanças, os desencontros e a solidão, ou seja, o sentimento real de seus amores. As letras aqui analisadas são entendidas como expressão de vivências pessoais e das percepções das duas compositoras, das tensões e possibilidades de uma nova forma de feminilidade no período retratado, no qual as mulheres puderam ultrapassar as limitações de seu papel social circunscrito ao espaço doméstico e à submissão. Iremos abordar, através das letras das compositoras, o tema do amor e dor, as relações amorosas, na visão feminina, pouco divulgado na época, pois a maioria das canções eram compostas por homens. Assim, apontaremos uma desnaturalização do papel da mulher vigente no período. Também iremos abordar às intensas transformações econômicas, culturais e sociais ocorridas na década de 1950, que é reconhecida como "Anos Dourados". Houve uma sucessiva mudança de hábitos, pois as cidades começaram a crescer, tanto territorial como populacionalmente, em um processo crescente de "modernização" através da popularização do cinema norteamericano e da entrada da televisão. Iremos discutir como a mulher está vivenciando as mudanças do período, tanto na economia como na sociedade e também pensar como a mulher tem sido retratada nos meios midiáticos (revista, rádio e a musica), a partir de duas matrizes (a mulher do lar e a leviana) e como certos produtos refletiam essa dicotomia / Abstract: In this paper we will analyze the performance of two great female singers and composers in the musical scene, previously monopolized by the men, Dolores Duran and Maysa, both with a poetic language in which the love was normally portrayed as depression, illusion and pain in songs that, full of feelings and emotions, expressed the feeling of loss, hopelessness, mismatch and loneliness, that is, the real feeling of their loves. Here, the lyrics analyzed are understood as expressions of personal experiences and perceptions of the two female composers, from the tensions and possibilities of a new form of femininity in the portrayed period where the women were able to overcome the limitations of their social role limited to domestic space and submission. We will discuss, through the lyrics of the composers, the themes of love and pain, love relationships, in the feminine view, little publicized at the season, because most of the songs were composed by men. Thus, we will point out a denaturation of the role of women in the period under consideration. We will also address the intense economic, cultural, and social transformations that occurred in the 1950s, known as "Golden Years". There was a successive change in habits because the cities began to grow, both territorially and populationally, in a growing process of "modernization" through the popularization of American cinema and television entry. We will discuss how the woman is experiencing the changes of the period, both in the economy and in society, and also to think about how women have been portrayed in the media (magazine, radio and music), from two matrices (the home woman and the reckless woman) and how especific products reflected this dichotomy / Mestre

This thesis addresses the gender-race intersectional inequality in Canadian conservatory piano syllabi revealing that women make up less than 14% of piano music in 20th and 21st Century piano repertoire in Canadian conservatories. By drawing on feminist musicology, critical race, and intersectionality studies, the thesis addresses elements of patriarchy and white supremacy found within specific conservatory repertoire examples. Using the SongData methodology, Adams presents 50 years of data points of gender-race representation in the Royal Conservatory of Music and Conservatory Canada piano syllabi, reporting that white women make up 13.1% of 20th and 21st-century music and Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour make up less than 0.6%. Piano music by BIPOC women is then leveled and broken down according to conservatory standards and compared to repertoire within existing syllabi. Also included is an original graded syllabus of over 3,000 pieces by women and additional curricular resources for the piano studio.

In this thesis, I explore the careers and songs of Florence Price and Margaret Bonds—two African American female composers who were part of the Chicago Renaissance. Price and Bonds were members of extensive, often informal, networks of Black women that fostered creativity and forged paths to success for Black female musicians during this era. Building on the work of Black feminist scholar Patricia Hill Collins, I contend that these efforts reflect Black feminist principles of Black women working together to create supportive environments, uplift one another, and foster resistance. I further argue that Black women's agency enabled the careers of Price and Bonds and that elements of Black feminism are not only present in their professional relationships, but also in their songs. Initially, I discuss how the background of the Harlem and Chicago Renaissances and racial uplift ideology shaped these women's artistic environment. I then examine how Bonds and Price incorporated, updated, and expanded versions of these ideals in their music and careers. Drawing on the scholarship of Rae Linda Brown, Angela Davis, and Tammy L. Kernodle, I analyze Price's "Song to the Dark Virgin," "Sympathy," and "Don't You Tell Me No" and Bonds's "Dream Variation," "Note on Commercial Theater," and "No Good Man" through a Black feminist lens. I contend that although Price and Bonds depicted harsh realities of Black women's experiences, they also celebrated Black women's resistance in spite of intersectional oppression. Ultimately, analyzing Black feminism in these composer's careers and songs opens a path for further exploration of how Black women's agency can facilitate activism through art.
