As one of the first women in Canada to pursue composition and the teaching of composition as a full time career, Violet Archer created a fresh approach to Canadian music, while still working in an international style. This dissertation explores Archer's experiences as a female composer in Canada in the 20th century, and how she explored her Canadian identity in both her life and her music.

The first chapter is a brief biography of Violet Archer with particular emphasis on the events that shaped her life and career, and includes an introduction to her music and musical style. Chapter Two identifies trends in the history of Western Art Music composition in Canada from its beginnings to the present. The histories of composition in Western Canada and of Canadian female composers are also considered, in order to provide a background to the place of Archer's contemporaries in Canada. Chapter Three examines Archer's experiences as a composer and specifically how being Canadian and a woman affected her life and career.

The fourth chapter explores the intersections between national identity and Canadian music. Among other things, the development of a Canadian musical style and the varying concepts of what constitutes "Canadian" music are considered. Chapter Five delves specifically into how Archer made her own music Canadian by examining three works in detail: Northern Landscape (1951), Ten Folk Songs for Four Hands (1953), and Prairie Profiles (1980). This not only places Archer's work in a national context, but concerns how these works reflect her particular world and musical view.

This dissertation concludes that in the breadth and variety of her work, and in the determination with which she pursued and developed her talent, Violet Archer was both unique and the embodiment of a particularly Canadian spirit.
