Female Classical Composers
Comment:
Mystic poet, composer, and new age poster child Hildegard von Bingen's "Symphonia virginum: O dulcissime amator" is based on the fifth-century legend of the 11,000 virgins who were said to have been slaughtered by Attila the Hun for refusing to submit to concubinage. Clara Schumann, though eclipsed in fame by husband Robert, was no slouch, with more than three-dozen compositions to her credit.
