Summary
This study is among the first to explore South Korean female composers’ recent achievements in the choral music community, along with the legacy of the male-dominated environment that has impeded the acknowledgement of female musicians. Choral music was introduced to South Korea in the late 19th century by Christian missionaries. Despite this short history, Western style choral music gained a strong foothold in South Korean culture life, and, today, many South Korean choirs have been internationally recognized for their excellence. The rise of women’s rights has paralleled this musical development especially in the area of choral composition. By 2012, female composition students comprised 70% of those studying music composition in South Korea universities. Through this changing cultural landscape, female composers have established a foothold in South Korean musical landscape.
