English composer, singer, and keyboardist Jane Savage (1752/3-1824) likely performed and composed in a strictly domestic setting. Studying alongside her father’s music students, she became a skilled composer of vocal and keyboard music. Her compositional output includes a cantata, Strephan and Falvia, Six Easy Lessons and Six Rondos for the harpsichord, several solo songs and vocal duets, and a double lesson for harpsichord on “God Save the King.” Savage assumed financial responsibility for the publication of her works, most of which were likely written before her marriage in 1793.
