초록/해제: 요약The history of women composers has been defined by overt prejudice. However, in the 20th century that narrative began to change. By the 1950s women composers began to thrive, having their works performed worldwide and in virtually all genres. Recognition of their works has flourished, with two Pulitzer Prize winners, numerous Grammy Awards, acceptance into prestigious fellowships, and more. Their contributions to the world of music are making a noticeable impact on classical music and their works for tuba are no exception.The intent of this treatise is to be a resource of solo literature for tuba written by various women composers. The selected solo works have been chosen to represent quality literature at various difficulty levels. Two works have been chosen to highlight each difficulty level. For each work, the author identified their purpose for selection, musical form, and performance challenges. Along with the description will be suggested performance fundamentals designed to assist with key components of each piece. In addition to the selections in this paper, a more extensive list of works has been provided. Each work includes a brief biography about the composer and a difficulty rating based on the ITEA Standard Literature rubric.
