Amy Marcy Beach (1867 - 1944) was a pioneering woman composer at a time when women were barely considered by music publishers. She has been acclaimed to be the first important American woman composer. As a child Amy was allowed rather than encouraged to further her obvious musical talent. She wrote in a mature and virtuosic style for piano with use of chromaticism, fine melodic lines, and Impressionistic styles. This is her Fire-Flies set for clarinet quartet by John Gibson. (3 Bb clarinets and bass clarinet). This piece is also a part of a group of pieces called Buggy Delights also available on Sheet Music Press.
