Amy Beach
Amy Marcy Cheney Beach nace en Henniker (New Hampshire, EE.UU.) el 5 de septiembre de . Desde los 6 años estudia piano con su madre, Clara Imogene Marcy Cheney , convirtiéndose rápidamente en una niña-prodigio del instrumento, que da su primer recital a los 7 años.
En su familia se traslada a Boston . Allí estudiará armonía, contrapunto y composición. Diez años después debuta con una de las orquestas más importantes de EE.UU, la Sinfónica de Boston.
Casada con el Dr. Henry Beach , limita sus apariciones públicas, dedicándose casi en exclusiva a la composición. Autora pionera - es la primera americana en componer una sinfonía- logró abrir las puertas de las sociedades musicales de la época a las muchas mujeres que en el siglo XX deseaban ver interpretadas sus obras. Su estilo, no ajeno a las influencias de Wagner Brahms y Debussy , se enriquece con el folklore americano y con su talento para ideación de melodías.
Tras la muerte de su marido en , retoma su carrera interpretativa con una gira que comienza en Alemania y por la que se da a conocer como intérprete y compositora por Centroeuropa, regresando a

Amy Cheney was born in Henniker, N.H. . A precocious musical talent, she composed music at age four and at seven was performing publicly. She made her professional debut in 1883 and soon became a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In 1885, Amy Cheney married Dr. H.H.A. Beach, a well-known Boston surgeon. Afterwards, Mrs. Beach shifted her emphasis from performance to composition, although she continued to perform her own work. As a composer, Beach was largely self-taught. She wrote more than 150 numbered works, and she was a much renowned song writer. MacDowell Home The Colony The Colonists Classroom Resources ... New Hampshire Public Television

Amy Marcy Cheney Beach
Born in Henniker, NH just after the Civil War Amy Cheney was composing piano tunes by age four. Today she is remembered as "America's first distinguished and celebrated woman composer". The NH prodigy was performing publicly in Boston by age 16. At 18 she married a prominent 43-year old Boston doctor who urged his wifeto compose rather than perform on the piano. As Mrs. H.H. A. Beach she composed more than 150 numbered works - choral, orchestral, sacred, songs. She composed music to the poetry of major poets and, after her husband's death, toured Europe with great success after the turn of the 20th century. She attended the MacaDowell summer artist's colony in Peterborough, NH for two decades starting in 1921. Her work thrives today on the Internet, in CD, in sheet music, on digital files, in books - and her compositions are continually performed.
A child prodigy from Henniker, her music
is still widely performed today

Amy Marcey Cheney Beach
American composer and pianist The body of work that Beach produced stands out for its size as well as its quality. She also stands out as the first woman to master larger forms. Her Symphony in E (the "Gaelic") demonstrates this, and is one of the first works by an American to answer Antonin Dvorák's challenge to use national themes in their compositions. Beach believed that since a large percentage of Boston's citizens were of Irish extraction, this would be the most representative source to draw upon. Many of her works have remained popular in this century, and her music is receiving a fairer re-evaluation as a result of the general interest in the music of women and the special circumstances of its creation. In her own words... "The women composers of today have advanced in technique, resourcefulness, and force, and even the younger composers have achieved some effects which the great masters themselves would never have dared to attempt. The present composers are getting away more and more from the idea that they must cater to the popular taste, and in expressing their individual ideas, are giving us music of real worth and beauty."

A spate of recent recordings of the music of Amy Beach (1867-1944) has brought the percentage of works on disc to over fifty percent. Now some record stores have five or six CDs sitting behind the Beach divider at any one time. One can find her opera, Cabildo, in a recording by some of today’s outstanding singers (e.g., Lauren Flanigan, Paul Grove, and Anthony Dean Griffey). There are two recordings each of the piano concerto and “Gaelic” symphony, but not one of her delightful light orchestral work, Bal masque, played recently by the Boston Pops. Also in the half empty department are concert arias, the Mary Stuart soliloquy, Eilende Wolken, Segler der Lüfte, for mezzo and orchestra, and Jephthah’s Daughter, for soprano and orchestra—singers, take note. Of her songs, about one third are recorded to date, among them the best known—e.g., the three Browning songs—and lesser known but stunning “Rendez-vous” and “In the Twilight.” Still awaiting singers are many fine songs. For starters, see two songs to German texts, the peaceful “Nachts” (Night), and the dramatic “Allein,” the latter on the same text as Schubert’s “Ihr Bild” and Clara Schumann’s “Ich stand in dunklen Traümen.”

Amy Beach: Passionate Victorian
Review by Laurie Blunsom
Adrienne Fried Block’s Amy Beach, Passionate Victorian: The Life and Work of an American Composer, 1867-1944 (Oxford University Press, 1998; $45) is a valuable contribution to music scholarship and an outstanding tribute to the dean of America’s female composers, Amy Beach. Block’s long-awaited biography—the first thorough scholarly study of Beach’s career—bestows upon Beach her rightful place among the important musical figures of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Block’s narrative can be divided into three parts. The first part chronicles Beach’s upbringing and years in Boston. Particularly significant are her discussions about Beach’s relationships with her mother, Clara Cheney, and her husband, Dr. Henry Beach. Block also examines Beach’s development as a composer, focusing on her first large-scale works, the Mass in E b and the “Gaelic” Symphony. The second part deals with the period after the deaths of her husband and her mother when Beach left Boston and embarked on a career as a pianist, undertaking European and American concert tours. This period ends with Beach caring for her terminally ill cousin and then for her dying aunt in New Hampshire, during which time she wrote and performed little. The third part revolves around her stay at the MacDowell Colony and in New York where she eventually settled, continuing to write and perform in limited engagements.

Beach: ``Gaelic'' Symphony
Amy M. (Mrs. H.H.A.) Beach, 1867-1944. Symphony (``Gaelic'') in E minor, Op. 32. Completed 1896, first performance October 30th, 1896, in Boston. Scored for 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, bass trombone, tuba, triangle, tympani, and strings. In an era where women received little respect, and American composers practically none, Amy Beach stood out as the only successful female American composer, a position which she held for over half a century. As with many of her male European predecessors, she displayed her musical talents early, harmonizing her mother's lullabies at the age of two, and notating bird songs on staff paper while still a child. One of her more intriguing traits was her ability to associate colors with music: she would often ask her mother to play the ``purple'' or the ``green'' song. Beginning piano studies at six, Amy developed her abilities rapidly, and made her public debut at 16, performing music by Moscheles and Chopin (accompanied by an unnamed ``grand orchestra,'' according to the program). This and subsequent performances received consistently good notices, though reviewers of the time were often unable to avoid disparaging comments about her sex. She seemed destined for an illustrious musical career when at 18 she married Dr. Henry Harris Aubrey Beach, a prominent physician and society man 25 years her senior. The marriage caused some to suggest that the doctor would not allow his wife's music-making to continue (speculation which has misled even some modern writers), but such was not the case. Indeed, Dr. Beach encouraged his wife's talents, to the extent of having a superb studio built in their home for her use in practicing and composing. The new Mrs. Beach immediately began work on a large-scale Mass in E flat, which was followed a few years later by the present work. In short order, she was achieving great success with her compositions. (It is worth noting that, although she received excellent training at the keyboard, Amy Cheney's formal education in composition was minimal, probably because it was not considered an appropriate subject for a young woman. It is a mark of her talent that she was able to overcome the omission to produce a large catalog of outstanding works.)

    Composer Beach strikes a chord
    Thursday, January 14, 1999 By NANCIE STONE
    Monitor staff
    At the turn of century, when serious music was the province of men only, Amy Cheney Beach, a Henniker native, changed that tune. She became the country's foremost woman composer and one of the most popular composers of her time. Amateur pianists formed Amy Beach Clubs in her honor. Symphonies across the U.S. - New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles - performed her orchestral pieces. A jubilee in Washington, D.C., honoring her 75th birthday devoted two nights to her work. She was the first American woman to compose a symphony. At 25, she was the first woman to have work performed by the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston. And she was a virtuoso pianist who performed her compositions with orchestras in the U.S. and Europe. "She is an example of someone in a pretty repressed time who became a role model," said Peggy Vagts, chairwoman of the music department at the University of New Hampshire . "There were few women composers . . . and not many women performers." Beach composed in the Romantic style popular in the late 1800s, a music typified by lush harmonies and long melody lines.

    New wave of women led by a Beach lover
    By Brian Hunt
    The Mail on Sunday, 28 November 28 1999
    One can hardly be surprised that the music of American composer Amy Beach should evoke a repressed life force struggling for freedom. Amy Marcy Cheney - who would later take the surname Beach on marriage - had an exceptional musical gift. It became manifest soon after her birth in 1867, but her strict Victorian mother was not overly encouraging. When, at six, Amy was finally allowed music lessons, the piano might still be locked as a punishment. A composer from infancy, she was being published by the age of 16. Two years later, when her dual career as a composer and concert pianist was burgeoning, she married Dr H.H.A. Beach, a surgeon well established in Boston society (he was actually older than her father). The assumption of social and domestic duties suspended her performing career until her husband's death in 1910. It would be wrong to present Amy Beach as a martyr - her mother sought to discipline her talent, not stifle it, and her husband encouraged her composing - but the sense of reined-in passion is hard to ignore. The 1939 Piano Trio, Op 50, a sequence of fleeting visions and muffled cries, has a claustrophobic airlessness. This seems to intensify rather than limit the music's potency, and the jaunty finale's dispersal of tension gains in effect. The Piano Quintet in F sharp minor begins with an unashamedly Brahmsian sweep - but not even Brahms would keep the textures as dark, unventilated and close as this.
