Biography

In the early part of this century, Warren broke the gender barrier by becoming a celebrated composer of serious music at a time when men dominated the field. At the time of her death in 1991, Warren had lived a career that remains one of the longest and most prolific in American musical history. Described by musicologist Christine Ammer as ""the only woman among the group of prominent American neo-Romanticists that include Howard Hanson, Samuel Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti,"" Warren has written more than 200 published compositions, including works for orchestra, chorus and orchestra, chamber ensemble, piano, voice and chorus. Her major works may be heard on Cambria CD recordings, and her music in print is available from various publishers, notably Carl Fischer and Masters Music.
