Extractions: Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (Mrs. H.H.A. Beach) (1867-1944) was born in New Hampshire. Musically precocious, she sang improvised harmony parts at age two, composed at age four, and began piano studies with her mother, Clara Imogene Marcy Cheney, at age six, giving her first public recitals at seven. In 1875 the Cheney family moved to Boston, where Amy studied piano, harmony, counterpoint, an composition. In 1885 she made her piano debut with the Boston Symphony. That smae year she married Dr. Henry beach, a socially prominent doctor, Harvard professor, and musical amateur. In accordance with his wishes, she limited her public appearances and concentrated on composition until after his death in 1910. In 1911 she traveled to Germany, where she toured as a virtuoso pianist, playing and accompanying her own works to critical acclaim. In 1914 she returned to the United States, where she maintained an active schedule of winter touring and summer composing for many years. Mrs. Beach compsed works in many genres, including a Mass, a symphony, a piano concerto, and works for chamber ensembles, piano, mixed chorus, and solo voice. Her thirty works for women's chorus, including several cantatas, are well-crafted in a romantic idiom, always with intelligent text setting. The Year's at the Spring was sung by the Bennett College Glee Club in 1934 and 1935, under the direction of Marylou Jackson.

Extractions: Died 27 December 1944, New York City. In the 25 years of her marriage until her husband's death in 1910, Beach tried to limit her public appearances to an annual piano recital and the premieres of her own works. Meanwhile she profited from her leisure to absorb the vast repertoire of the European late-Romantic period, putting what she had taught herself to work in compositions of ever increasing ambition and sophistication. This was the period of her best large-scale work: the Gaelic Symphony (1894), Violin Sonata (1896), and Piano Concerto (1899). The Boston Symphony Orchestra gave the first performances of the symphony and, with Beach as piano soloist, the concerto. Quite apart from the intrinsic merit of the works, which is substantial, both premieres were historic for the annals of women in music. Works Orchestra

Extractions: By all measures, young Amy Marcy Cheney was a true prodigy. At one year she knew forty songs, always singing them at the same pitch. By age two she could improvise a countermelody to any melody her mother sang, and at age four, she could not only read four-part hymns at sight, but wrote her first pieces in her head and then sat down and played them on the piano. She began piano study at age six with her mother, and then studied with the finest pianists in Boston. She made her debut at sixteen, and in 1885 played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. From this point on, her career was influenced greatly by society's views of women. It was suggested that her desire to study composition would best be served by independent study, in part in the belief that women composed based on feeling rather than intellect. When she married the physician and amateur musician Henry Harris Aubrey Beach in 1885, he asked that she limit her concertizing to a few performances a year. Because of this, she focused on composition. After his death in 1910, she resumed her concert career in Europe and in this country.

Extractions: November 3, 2002 After spending a day with Amy's family at her uncle's place in Pt. Reyes Station, we went to Mickey's Beach for some bouldering. It was definitely an "only in California" experience for methe guidebook had said there were "naked people" next to some of the boulders we'd be climbing on, and sure enough there were naked folks sunbathing and playing frisbee within a few feet of some of the boulder problems. After our first bouldering session, I borrowed a disc and we played for a while. At some point I said to myself "Well, when in Rome..." and shucked my shorts, and later joined the (barely) co-ed naked ultimate frisbee game. (Amy later pointed out that I was the obvious nude beach virgin, with my luminous white butt cheeks and nether regions...) We squeezed in a final bouldering session just before the beautiful ocean sunset.

Extractions: Amy Beach and Her Chamber Music: Biography, Documents, Style by Jeanell Wise Brown, Tennessee Temple Universty, Chattanooga, Tennessee, published in 1994 by The Scarecrow Press, Inc. 52 Liberty Street, P.O. Box 4167, Metuchen, New Jersey 08840; (908) 548-8600; FAX: (908) 548-5767; ISBN 0-8108-1884-7 (hardback); 407 pp. Published as No. 16 in the Scarecrow Press series, "Composers of North America," Jeanell Wise Brown's Amy Beach and Her Chamber Music is the sixth volume in the series to chronicle the life and works of a woman composer. Curiously, however, much of the material found in Brown's work is covered in an earlier study, No. 2 (1987): Energy and Individuality in the Art of Anna Huntington, Sculptor, and Amy Beach, Composer , by Myrna G. Eden. While none of us desires to slight Amy Beach's prodigious creative output and her undeniable influence on American music, why publish two full length studies on Beach in such a short period of time? Surely there are other women composers whose careers merit the attention of this series. Numerous other problems mar Brown's work, and oversights and inaccuracies appear with regularity throughout her book. Writing about American composers active during the late 1800's, Brown states, "It may be said of the New England group, for example, that most of them studied extensively in Europe..."(20). To which members of the "New England group" does Brown refer? She never makes their identity known. Other seemingly significant figures also remain anonymous. Brown writes that Beach's "compositions were being introduced in major European cities by prominent singers and chamber music groups. As mentioned previously [40], for example, the Violin Sonata was successfully performed in Berlin with Teresa Carreño at the piano..." (47-48). Surely a performer of Carreño's reputation would have teamed up with other world-renowned musicians, yet we never learn the name of the violinist.

Extractions: Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (1867-1944), the most widely performed composer of her generation, was the first American woman to succeed as a creator of large-scale art music. Her "Gaelic" Symphony, given its premiere by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1896, was the first work of its kind by an American woman to be performed by an American orchestra. Almost all of her more than 300 works were published soon after they were composed and performed, and today her music is finding new advocates and audiences for its energy, intensity, and sheer beauty. Yet, until now, no full-length critical biography of Beach's life or comprehensive critical overview of her music existed. This biography admirably fills that gap, fully examining the connections between Beach's life and work in light of social currents and dominant ideologies.

Extractions: UMKC MERLIN Catalog Resources Ask Us ... Libraries Home BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH CONTAINER LIST: Return to Beach Collection Description Biographical Sketch Her development was watched closely by a circle in Boston society which included Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, William Mason and Dr. Henry Harris Aubrey Beach. Beach was a socially prominent physician who was a lecturer on anatomy at Harvard and also a well-schooled amateur singer and pianist. Amy Cheney and Dr. H.H.A. Beach were married in 1885. Following the expectations of Victorian society, Mrs. Beach curtailed her touring and spent her days at home composing. Many of her works were granted premières by major orchestras and some were also the result of commissions. These were the first occasions on which many musical organizations performed music by a female composer. It may also be remarked that her E-Minor Symphony, Op. 32 ("Gaelic") was the first composed by an American woman. Mrs. Beach left quite a legacy for American performers and composers who followed her and her life and influence created many remarkable "firsts" for women in music. Many of her works show the influence of American late Romantic composers such as Horatio Parker, Edward MacDowell, Arthur Foote and George Chadwick; but she also reflected the ideas of Brahms and Debussy. These influences are not absolutely direct, but subtle, for the majority of her compositions consist of her own idiomatic style (both delicate and elaborate) and her natural gift for melody. She was best known for her songs, her symphony and her piano pieces and was also recognized for her early contribution to the preservation, documentation and transcription of American birdsongs.

Extractions: B orn Amy Marcy Cheney in Henniker, NH. in 1867, Mrs. H.H. Beach, as she styled herself after her marriage to a prominent physician in 1885, became the first woman composer to achieve wide recognition in America. A child prodigy on the piano, she made her Boston concert debut at age sixteen. Within two years she had performed Chopin's F MINOR CONCERTO FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA with the Boston Symphony and had begun to tour widely as a soloist. After marriage to Dr. Beach, however, she curtailed her concertizing in favor of homemaking. It was during this period until her husband's death in 1910 that Mrs. Beach first began to compose. Her FESTIVAL JUBILATE, written for the dedication of the Women's Building at Chicago's Columbian Exposition of 1892, won recognition for her as a serious composer in the Romantic genre. She followed this success with a GAELIC SYMPHONY, performed by the Boston Symphony in 1896, and her PIANO CONCERTO IN C-SHARP minor in 1899, which she herself premiered with the same orchestra. As a widow, Mrs. Beach resumed her concertizing in America and Germany and increased her compositional output. In addition to her piano music and large scale orchestral works, she created more than 150 songs, almost all in the grand, operatic, heart-on-sleeve vein of the late 19th century. Settings like AH, LOVE, BUT A DAY! and THE YEAR'S AT THE SPRING became staples of the early 20th century concert repertory.
