Composer (1867-1944)

Born in Henniker, NH just after the Civil War Amy Cheney was composing piano
tunes by age four. Today she is remembered as "America's first distinguished and
celebrated woman composer". The NH prodigy was performing publicly in Boston by
age 16. At 18 she married a prominent 43-year old Boston doctor who urged his
wifeto compose rather than perform on the piano. As Mrs. H.H. A. Beach she composed
more than 150 numbered works - choral, orchestral, sacred, songs. She composed
music to the poetry of major poets and, after her husband's death, toured Europe
with great success after the turn of the 20th century. She attended the MacaDowell
summer artist's colony in Peterborough, NH for two decades starting in 1921. Her
work thrives today on the Internet, in CD, in sheet music, on digital files, in
books - and her compositions are continually performed.
A child prodigy from Henniker, her music
is still widely performed today
