From @joannechocolat

Maddalena Casulana (1544–1590) was an Italian #composer, lutenist, and singer.

In #Venice, her book of madrigals for four voices, "Il primo libro di madrigali", was the first printed and published work by a woman in Western #music #history.

Personal note: much of her work has been lost or is incomplete, but several pieces have been found, restored, & were performed for the first time in 400 years in 2022, on BBC Radio 3 for #InternationalWomensDay

"The 19 madrigals #HeinrichSchütz pub #Venice1611 at the age of 26 occupy a fundamental position in his career as well as in the history of music. For it was in Italy that the father of German baroque music learned his craft under the living god of Venetian polyphony, #GiovanniGabrieli." HarmoniaMundi.com
