Abstract Details

2014, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Conducting, Choral Emphasis.
The Mass in E-Flat Major by Amy Beach was the first major choral and orchestral work to be premiered in the United States by an American woman composer. Despite a successful premiere in 1892, the piece was never published and has been relegated to obscurity save a small number of performances over the last twenty years. Its performance materials have been housed in the New England Conservatory of Music and exist in manuscript form that are difficult to use in performance. Moreover, they contain corrections that were never recorded in the piano-vocal score that was published in 1890 by Schott Publishing of Boston, MA. This document is a new critical edition which establishes in print the corrections Beach made for the 1892 premiere and corrects errors that are present in the original source material.
