Dear All,
We are having an edit-a-thon next Saturday that is related to an annual
week-long broadcast of classical music works voted by the public. The works
chosen are broadcast in the form of a Countdown with expert commentary and
public engagement. These annual votes also result in a series of WP
articles. This year, one of the compositions that has been selected is
by Cécile
Chaminade<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9cile_Chaminade>de>,
whom I expect will be the only female composer to be represented on the
list. In fact, out of 1100 choices over 11 years, there have been only two
other women. (They are Elena Kats-Cherni, who has two places, and Ann
Carr-Boyd). As there was no article about Chaminade's selected composition
- Concertino for flute and orchestra -
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertino_for_flute_and_orchestra_%28Chaminade%29>I
have started one.
*If anyone would like to help improve this article or create more about
Chaminade's other works (the list is on her bio article), that would be
great. *
