Publisher Description Its a Grrrl!David W. Barber has delighted readers all around the world with Accidentals on Purpose, When the Fat Lady Sings, Getting a Handel on Messiah and other internationally bestselling books of musical/historical humor. Like his popular Bach, Beethoven and the Boys, which chronicles the lives of many of the great (and some of the not-so-great) composers of western classical music, Davids books aim to take some of the stuffing out of stuffy classical music with a writing style thats witty and yet also informative.In Bach, Beethoven and the Grrrls, and with help from longtime cartoon illustrator Dave Donald, he turns his engaging and educating gaze on an area of classical music that has sadly been too long neglected - that of some of the great women composers. In briefly chronicling their lives, David maintains a light tone while striving to remain respectful of the women themselves, yet properly irreverent - at times even perhaps disdainful - of the societal and other forces that for far too long have kept these creative artists in the shadows of others.

Barber is a journalist and musician and the author of more than a dozen books of music (including Accidentals on Purpose; Bach, Beethoven and the Boys; When the Fat Lady Sings; and Getting a Handel on Messiah) and literature (including Quotable Sherlock, Quotable Alice, Quotable Twain, The Last Laugh, Atonement and other stories, Hedshot and Mugshot). Formerly a writer, editor and entertainment editor of the Kingston Whig-Standard, editor of Broadcast Week magazine at the Toronto Globe and Mail and the assistant editor of arts and life for Postmedia newspapers, he is currently a freelance writer, editor, musician and composer. As a composer, his works include two symphonies, a jazz mass based on the music of Dave Brubeck, a Requiem, several short choral and chamber works and various vocal-jazz songs and arrangements.
