For women's music to stay in the repertoire, we don't just need recordings. We also need score publication, composer info & advocacy. So I'm delighted to announce the launch of UNHEARD HERITAGE, a recording initiative marrying research & performance leahbroad.substack.com/p/announcing...

if a work can't be heard, performers won't play it, so we desperately need good recordings of women's compositions if they're going to enter the repertoire.

So this month I am really delighted to announce the launch of my recordings initiative, Unheard Heritage, which is dedicated to bringing forgotten works out of archives and bringing them to life in world-class recordings.

Because women have always been composers. No matter how difficult it was, no matter how trying the circumstances, historical women fought to make their voices heard. We only have to listen.

White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

From seeing a name on a placard to transcribing and co-editing the complete works! Proud and grateful to have played a part in bringing the works of the first composer racialised as Black to publish music in Europe to a modern scholarly edition.

A photograph from 2020 tweeted by Alice H. Jones of a protest placard she made bearing the names of Black composers, the first of which is Vicente Lusitano (1520 - c.1561).

I wrote a letter to the editor of Music Analysis about a 39-page review of Phil Ewell's book that they published. I think it could have used some … editing. It's open access for now while it's pre-print so enjoy while you can. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I wonder in what other contexts we might see such a review published in a journal as prestigious as Music Analysis. Would Music Analysis publish a review of a book on Mozart that did not make connexions to existing Mozart literature? Would such sarcasm and misreading survive the editing process in a review of a book by Joseph Straus or David Huron? Would a graduate student representative of Project Spectrum be given the latitude to write a 39-page review (including two and a half pages discussing the reviewer's own work despite its dubious relevance, four pages of ‘vignettes’, three pages on the recent actions of the Jazz Interest Group, more than 1500 words of block quotes from the book in question and 1200 more in block quotes from other sources)? I urge the editors to take care and reflect on who gets to publish such things, who doesn't and the effects of such a publication.
