to reprint rare viola music. Those violists who are gifted at researching and editing can make a huge contribution to our repertoire by making new editions of these works if they are out of print. Modern editions of major viola works by women composers have been made in recent times, including viola works by Rebecca Clarke, Pamela Harrison, Joan Tower, Vivian Fine, Sally Beamish, Lillian Fuchs, and Sylvia Lee Mann. An exciting recent addition includes a reorchestration of Rebecca Clarke’s 1919 Sonata for Viola as a Concerto for Viola and Orchestra by Ruth Lomon in 2016. For many of the lesser-known and historic viola composers one can look for copies of their music at the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP.org), or Edwin A. Fleischer Collection of scores at the Free Library of Philadelphia, and the Primrose International Viola Archives at Brigham Young University, Patricia McCarty. There is also a new database of music by underrepresented women composers created by University of Arizona Viola Professor Molly Gebrian in 2020. It is my hope that this list of women composers and their viola works will inspire many violists, teachers, and graduate students to seek out the undiscovered treasures awaiting them in this music repertoire.
