- Description
The research seminar "Women Composers" will continue in the summer semester 2025: The demand for more works by and knowledge about female composers is currently a weighty topic, also at the HfMT Hamburg. The seminar will go in search of female composers who have been less known or unknown to date. Among other things, student circles, music catalogs, collections and estates as well as the contemporary press will serve as a guide, with the aim of finding names and works that are worthy of further consideration. Depending on the individual interests of the students, different (research) focuses can be set: The search for traces in biographical and musical sources, the systematization and categorization of what has been found, the editing of sheet music, the writing of texts, e.g. for MUGI (mugi.hfmt-hamburg.de), or simply: dealing with the new, the different, the unknown as a source of inspiration and motivation. In this way, an (interpretative) bridge can be constructed from the past to the present for those female composers and their works that have not been performed for decades, in some cases centuries.
In the summer semester, the seminar is combined with a workshop in which individual works are played and tested together with teachers from the instrumental and vocal departments or instrumental didactics. The aim is also to search for works that could be considered for the university's repertoire lists.
