    About this audiobook

    A master violinist trained in Vienna, Rebekah Carrington manages to wheedle her way into an audition with the Maestro at the newly formed Nashville Philharmonic. But women are "far too fragile and frail" for the rigors of an orchestra, and Rebekah's hopes are swiftly dashed. Because the conductor--determined to leave his mark on the world of classical music--bows to public opinion. To make matters worse, Adelicia Acklen Cheatham, mistress of Belmont Mansion and Rebekah's new employer, agrees with him. Nationally acclaimed conductor Nathaniel Tate Whitcomb is Nashville's new orchestra leader. And despite a reluctant muse--and a strange buzzing and recurring pain in his head--he must finish composing his symphony before the grand opening of the city's new opera hall. But far more pressing, he must finish it for the one who first inspired his love of music--his father, who is dying. But Tate's ailment worsens. He knows Rebekah can help him finish his symphony. But how do you win back a woman's trust when you've robbed her of her dream? "As music moves us to tears yet makes our hearts soar, A Note Yet Unsung captures the splendor of classical music at a time when women's hard-won strides in cultural issues changed not only world history--but the hearts of men."

      I love all Tamera Alexander's books. This one contains a lot of history about post civil war Nashville and the prevailing opinions,about different people and the workings of an orchestra.
    • 5/5
      Wonderfully compelling, insightful, and masterfully described. This book gave me a deeper appreciation for the musicians I know and love, especially my own daughter who is talented as a violinist but also plays other instruments. The plot was beyond what I expected, and so many times I found myself crying over different circumstances I could relate to, they were so real. This book was true to the adage of saving the best for last, to complete the Belmont trilogy. Definitely a must-read!
    • 5/5
      This is a wonderful addition to the Belmont Mansion series. I laughed and cried in this story. I did not know that women were not allowed to play in the symphony at that time. I really hated the reason that they give for not allowing them to play. I am so glad to live in this time. Rebekah wants to play in the orchestra. . She hopes that maybe Nathaniel Tate Whitcomb who is the new orchestra leader for Nashville will be more liberal. These characters are very good. They are both very strong people. I received a copy of this book from Bethany House for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
    • 5/5
      Oh my goodness! What a wonderful story. This book has cemented Tamera Alexander as one of my favorite authors.One thing that I love about historical fiction is when I learn something interesting. I did not know that at one time women were not encouraged to play the violin. It was considered a manly instrument and men were allowed to perform on stage. Really? Wow! I am so grateful for the women who paved the way for me to have had the experience of playing the violin on stage in an orchestra.The love story between Tate and Rebekah begins on a "sour note." (Pun intended.) Really it was a miscommunication of intent, but I loved Rebekah's gumption and willingness to put herself in uncomfortable situations to go after her dream.The way their past unfolds and their secrets revealed was well written. This story is great from start to beginning. This is the third book in a series. Characters from the previous two are mentioned, but this book can be read as a stand alone.The book contains Christian themes, non-graphic violence, non-graphic sexual assault, and kissing.Source: I received a complimentary copy of the book from Bethany House to review.
    • 5/5
      Tamera Alexander bids us return to the Belmont Mansion and post-Civil War Nashville in A Note Yet Unsung. Denied her one passion in life because of her gender, Rebekah Carrington becomes instead a violin tutor to Adelecia Acklen Cheatham's young daughter. As Rebekah's musical talent becomes apparent, she must help a struggling young maestro in his life's dream work, while realizing hers will not become a reality.Alexander always presents the struggles between the races and social classes with a heart-breaking realism and candid examination. She is also careful to balance out the picture with those of privilege or supposed superiority who understand that " all men are created equal" and live out that truth. Whether the opulent halls of Belmont, the lavish new opera house, or the lowly house in the hills, Alexander paints all skillfully with the master brush of a true wordsmith. Much research and detail has gone into this series, and it will leave haunting memories long after the books are closed.I received a complimentary copy from the publisher, which did not affect my opinions nor was I compelled to leave a positive review.
