Trends In Women And Music Art

By Rosella Campbell


Women have been central in the development of arts in general and music in particular. Their participation has grown over the years with different roles in each era. The linkage between women and music art is at performance, production as well as inspiration. They have been named on numerous occasions among the best composers and singers in their generation.

Geographical distribution places them in minority groups with few outstanding performers. They have received support from individuals and institutions to better their performance and raise their musical prowess. This has been crucial in promoting talent among female singers and performers.

Arts have continuously shaped social dialogue with female artists playing a crucial role. Their role in entertaining generations has remained unique especially considering the unique way in which they handle certain themes and contexts. They understand them better and are better placed to express them. Female performers can be traced in scripts recording action in courts among different societies.

Female artists compose and sing about such themes as social justice, motivation and love. This clearly demarcates their music with their handling of relationships being distinct. The dominant themes are feminine. Male artists have also written a lot about women with inspiration coming from relatives, parents, lovers and daughters. This is still credited as part of their influence.

It remains a huge challenge to judge women individually without having to compare them with male artists. This has resulted into a raw deal since this manner of comparison is always biased towards female singers. The low rating women receive takes a heavy toll on their morale and makes them feel like second grade.

There are organizations that seek to promote the place of a woman in musical performance. They offer recording opportunities and organize events to showcase upcoming talents. This is crucial in helping many of them in different parts of the world to get the much needed exposure that would see them make a break through.

Female artists have been active in charity through their artistic skills. They fundraise for persons in need and participate in campaigns targeting people in hunger stricken areas, facing floods or who have experienced devastating natural calamities. This adds greater value to their artistic talents.

Women composers have provided excellent pieces of classical music for concerts and other performance occasions. Performing theaters have witnessed incredible female representation and influence. Their approach, style and musical taste is unique. Their collaborations have produced incredible melodies and helped to increase acceptance.

Female composers do not receive as much attention as male composers. This disparity has been sustained in all artistic fields. A higher threshold seems to be placed for female singers. This has been disappointing to women.

Notable female composers include Clara Schumann, Amy Marcy, Cecile Chaminade and Hildegard of Bingen. They represent different eras and communities, but their contribution cannot be overlooked. Their influence is notable in the musical scene with dynamic themes and a feminine appeal in their style of performance.
