Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (September 5, 1867-December 27, 1944) was an American composer and pianist.
She was the first female composer of large-scale art music in the United States.
Her "Gaelic" Symphony, premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1896, was the first symphony composed and published by an American woman.
She was one of the first American composers to succeed without the benefits of European education and one of the most respected and lauded American composers of her time.
She was praised for giving her own music in the United States and Germany as a pianist.
Revival and reception in the late twentieth century and early 21st century.
Despite her fame and admiration during her lifetime, Beach was largely ignored after her death in 1944 to the late twentieth century. Efforts to rekindle interest in Beach's art have been largely fruitful in recent decades.
Modern commentators, such as Andrew Achenbach of Gramophone, have lauded the work for its "unique charm, irresistible charm, and steady progress" in 2003. Jonathan Blumhofer of The Arts Fuse wrote: "Itymhofer of The Arts Fuse" in 2016.
Modern critics have lauded the Piano Concerto in Beach as an overlooked masterwork. Phil Greenfield of The Baltimore Sun described it as "a vibrant, dashing work" that might be extremely popular if enough people were to hear it. Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle lauded the work in 2000: Writing: "Write this is a journalist who wrote: "In 2000 Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the composition":
Gramophone's Andrew Achenbach said it "ambitious" and "singularly impressive" — a gratifying achievement all round, with a slew of brilliantly idiomatic solo writing that "lent further autobiographical intrigue" assimilation of classical text from three early songs.
The Boston Women's Heritage Trail unveiled a bronze plaque at her Boston home in 1994, and Beach's gravesite at Forest Hills Cemetery was dedicated in 1995. In 1999, she was inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Boston Pops paid tribute to her by naming her first female collaborators with 87 others on Boston's granite wall. Marty Walsh, Mayor of Boston, declared September 5, 2017 to be "Amy Beach Day" in honor of Beach's 150th birthday. The New York Times published an article titled "Amy Beach, a Pioneering American Composer, Turns 150," in honor of Beach's sesquicentennial.
