Composer Mabel Daniels wrote fresh-sounding works that were performed by renowned orchestras and ensembles during her lifetime. Her works have only recently begun to be performed today. Assessing the rich context of American art music of the first half of the twentieth century, Mabel Daniels (1877-1971): American Composer in Transition accounts for why works by Daniels and other American women composers fell out of favour and why they should be performed more today. Most importantly, Daniels's life and works evidence transition in women's roles in composition, the professionalization of American women composers, and the role that Daniels played in the institutionalization of American art music. Daniels's dual role as a patron-composer is unique and expressive of her transitional status.
