Biography

Christoper A. Reynolds received his PhD from Princeton University. He is Professor of Music at the University of Californa, Davis and author of Papal Patronage and the Music of St. Peter's, 1380-1513 (1995) and Motives for Allusion: Context and Content in Nineteenth-Century Music (2003). He avidly began to research and collect women's songs in 1993.

The collection includes songs that were owned by Eleanor Lee Kingman, the grandmother of Christopher Reynolds. A native Californian, she was born in Pomona in 1893 and died there in 1990, having lived much of her adult life in Palos Verdes Estates. Before she married Alan Kingman in 1923, she had studied voice in Los Angeles, San Diego, and then in New York City with Frank La Forge. There she lived with the Californian pianist and composer, Elinor Remick Warren. Returning to California, she taught voice at Pomona College and then for a year at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.
