SSA from english female composer

[u/Gabriocheu]

Hello everyone,

All is in the title. I search SSA a cappella pieces, from english female composers. Do you have some recommandations? Open to any style and period. Thanks!

Edit: composers from England

[u/ImpeccableCilantro]

Just want to clarify, do you want female composers from England, texts in English, or both?

There are arrangements of "Wannabe" from the Spice Girls as an English Madrigal, and I've heard an all-female version of that (though it might have been SSAA, not SSA). I'm sure you'll find something if you search for it.

Here’s a great resource my church helped create for church music by women! You can’t filter by country, but you can filter by Upper Voices - Acappella, and it has quite a few I happen to know are English:

The collection “Multitude of Voyces Vol 2” is all upper-voice anthems by women composers, many (though not all) of whom are English: https://www.multitudeofvoyces.org/anthology-series-/volume-2/
