About this book

Woman's Work in Music presents an account of women's influence on music in ancient and modern times and a summary of their musical compositions. The title describes an estimate of women's compositions in comparison with those of men, across different countries of the civilized world. The discussion describes professional mourners in Eastern countries as women hired for the occasion, with men permitted to join the chorus.

The discussion treats the book of Lamentations as funeral songs imitating professional lays of grief and containing many allusions to mourning women. The account describes the fifth chapter of Isaiah as beginning with a cheerful vintage song and suddenly changing to a song of grief.
