EMMA HARTMANN - DENMARK
BORN 22 AUGUST
Amalia Emma Sophie Hartmann (22 August 1807 – 6 March 1851) was a Danish composer who used the pseudonym Frederick H. Palmer to publish music. She was married to the composer Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann.
Emma Zinn was born into a wealthy merchant family in Copenhagen. Her father Johan Friedrich Zinn had inherited the family's trading house after his father Johann Ludvig Zinn's death in 1802, initially in a partnership with his brother Carl Ludvig Zinn but he died in 1808. Emma studied singing and piano with composer Andreas Peter Berggreen.
Her first published composition was music for a Student Association dance in February 1841.
Five pamphlets with a total of 22 Romances and Songs were later published with lyrics by prominent names such as Christian Winther, Frederik Paludan-Müller, Swedish Johan Ludvig Runeberg and Ernst Weis. The first pamphlet was published in 1848 by Horneman & Erslev but the last two were published posthumously. The title lead featured both her real name and her pseudonym when her collected romances and songs were published in 1892.
Her pseudonym was revealed in 1869 when the Manual of anonymity and pseudonyms in Danish literature was published. She died in Copenhagen at age 44.
The title leaf featured both her real name and her pseudonym when her collected romances and songs were published in 1892. A collection of her piano pieces was published privately by her youngest son Frederik (Fritz) Hartmann in 1908. A new issue was published by DCM in 2003.

Born in Wakayama, Japan, Rica Narimoto completed her M.A. and Doctor of music at Aichi University of the Arts graduating at the top of her class and receiving the University's prestigious Kuwabara Prize.
She is the first person to have received a doctoral degree in the field of composition at that university. Her music has been performed in many countries including Japan, the Netherlands (during the Gaudeamus Music Week), Egypt (The Alexandrina Contemporary Music Biennale), Ukraine (the International Festival of Modern Art, Two Days and Two Nights/2D2N), Germany, France, Austria, the United States, Canada and Finland.
She has received several awards including the Irino Prize , the Asian Cultural Council Individual Fellowship Award(USA), the third prize at Iron Composer Competition(USA) and the Okuwa Cultural Encouragement Prize. She was invited from Asian Cultural Council as a fellow and lived in New York for researching about American contemporary music and art in 2011.
At the end of her stay in NYC, she had a highly claimed recital, "Portrait Concert: Rica Narimoto", featuring her own compositions, some of which were performed by herself. Her work combines contemporary music composition techniques with the structures of the 17th Century Japanese Itchu-Bushi form in order to create abstractions of space and time and produce a unique musical signature. She is currently an associate professor in Aichi University of the Arts, and is a lecturer in Kanazawa University and Kinjo Gakuin University.
