Thanks for the names, Dutch. I'll add them when I get the chance.
I was a little disappointed in the turnout for theme day, myself. I think it can be hard on weekends, when there seem to be fewer people around. And for this theme day, I think some people just don't think it's important. We have to change their minds by leading with positive examples.
Until next year! |

| Apparantly Mol didn't get all female composers I requested yesterday: |
I saw those names Dutch and skipped them.
For Nani Garcia the reason is he is a man (look here for example: http://www.nanigarcia.com/media/img/nani_garcia800x250.png).
For Wakana Hara the reason was I could not find any reliable source of information confirming that she is a composer (IMDB says she is a sound department, not mentioning any compositions)
I skipped Zaz because I could not find any proof that she composed anything for a movie.

I can't say for Wakana HARA, as the only works she is credited for is Ninja Gaiden.

She didn't compose specifically for a movie although some of her songs have been used. She did write lyrics for a song on a music from Howard Shore called Cœur Volant for the movie Hugo. The two songs Belle and l'Oiseau in Belle & Sébastien are actually (nice) reprises from the openings of the old french TV show from the 60s. |

Tomorrow's the day! Have a look a the list at the beginning of this thread, and let me know if anyone needs to be added!
Also, does anyone know if I can make columns in a post? That list is getting a bit long and little unwieldy. |

OK, it's today! I updated the list with a few new names, and I encourage everyone to try a request from it.
I know many people are loathe to use their request on a composer they've never heard of. But there are deserving names on that list, and they won't get famous if they're never heard. What we have here is a microcosm of the entertainment industry in general. They won't take chances on female directors, writers, composers, like they should. But we can. For one day, at least.

She counts. Trans women are women. I don't see any need to point out the Walter thing. |

Angel Roché Jr. is not female (nor trans). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1356349/.
However, he composes with his wife, Zoë Poledouris, so you get one, you get the other. |

Thanks, TwilightSoul. That mistake is so obvious I have no idea how I made it, but I have fixed it now.
And thanks to everyone who participated in this theme day. I know it sounds a little dorky, but it means a lot to me, and it was so special to see people's selections, not to mention a queue that was almost entirely female artists. I had a lot of fun, and you are the best. See you next year.

Thanks to our Played History feature I did some counting and it looks like on March 8th, 2016 we had:
- 119 requests dedicated to Theme Day: Celebrate Female Film Composers;
- 60 different female artists on air.
And I counted only requests with messages letting listeners know the request was meant to celebrate Theme Day.
BTW: The most requested female composer this year was Debbie Wiseman (7 requests). Other popular ladies were: R. Portman, P. Kouneva, S. Walker, B. Martin, Y. Kanno, D. Lurie, W. Carlos.
Looking forward to March 8th, 2017 already!

Mica Levi should be added to the list. Her Oscar nominated score for Jackie is really very good... |
