ADEL HEINRICH is Professor Emeritus of Music at Colby College. She has composed many works, including the conclusion for the unfinished Quadruple Fugue from the Art of Fugue by Bach, premiered for the Riemenschneider Bach Institute in Ohio, and published in Bach. She was selected as the International Musician of the Year by the International Biographical Center in London for 2003.
"Adel Heinrich's book . . . is a long overdue project, one that is
much needed. It is a welcome addition to scholarly research."-
William Sprigg Professor of Music Emeritus Hood College
"Dr. Heinrich's painstaking and exhaustive research has resulted in
a book that will grow in popularity as it becomes known. It is not
only vastly informative, it is timely. The contributions of women
in the music profession are receiving more and deserved attention,
and this wonderful resource work can only enhance the effort. There
are many interesting discoveries to be made even when casually
perusing the book, and many persons will find intriguing new
repertoire suggestions and facts never before published."-Frederick
Swann Director of Music and Organist The Crystal Cathedral, Garden
Grove, California
"Timely in topic, well-researched, thoroughly and practically
indexed, this book is bound to be mind-expanding to those who use
it. There is much more within its covers than is actually suggested
by the title--choral directors and church musicians will find it a
must for inclusion of solo vocal and choral works with organ or
harpsichord accompaniment. A music planner's delight!"- Max Miller
Chairman of the Organ Department Dean for Academic Affairs, School
for the Arts Boston University
