International Bibliography of Carillon Music by Women, Transgender, and Nonbinary Composers

This open-access international bibliography lists published and unpublished original carillon works by over a hundred women, transgender, and nonbinary composers. The composers’ birth years range from 1858 to the twenty-first century, the musical styles range from lyrical to avant-garde, and the formats range from solo to ensemble to electroacoustic. The listings are followed by two appendices. Appendix A lists arrangements and transcriptions, written for carillon, of music by women composed for other instruments or voice. Appendix B comprises an online streaming playlist of music by women carillon composers, with links to free audio and video across the web. We outline our research findings in the introduction, supplemented by charts and tables for ease of visualizing the data we gathered on gender inequity at the national and international carillon conference level
