A multiconfiguration self-consistent reaction field linear response method is presented for calculating frequency-dependent molecular properties as well as electronic excitation energies and transition moments of solvated molecules. Sample calculations are presented of a solvated water molecule and show a substantial dependence on the properties of the surrounding solvent. The solvent effect cannot be described as a correction to the vacuum value involving simple scalar factors.
