At today’s highly successful Claimed From Stationers’ Hall music research network 
workshop, we mentioned some songs written by women during the Napoleonic era.
This reminded me of Oskar Cox Jensen’s monograph on Napoleonic songs, which I bought for the Whittaker Library a year or so ago. Whilst checking the details of that book, I found Oskar’s SoundCloud. Do have a listen! Admittedly, Oskar’s book doesn’t mention the three songs that Brianna and I performed, so you won’t find our songs on his SoundCloud – but maybe one day we’ll record ours ourselves. Who knows?!
I’ll be blogging about our own workshop in the very near future, once I’ve gone through my (rather extensive) notes properly! I’ve typed up the minutes of the morning session, but there’s still more to do and to think about before I should share further!
