Our final female composer is Sulpitia Cesis, a Late Renaissance era Italian Composer, Singer, Lutenist and Roman Catholic Augustinian Nun. “O Crux Splendidior” (https://youtu.be/OUBD15C8ZUU?si=vU6_PvmMG8Dm5Dav) is a motet about the invocation of the cross

The Comtessa de Dia AKA Beatritz AKA Isoarda was a High Middle Ages era French Noblewoman,, Composer and Poet. Like Enhéduanna, she was a Trobairitz by trade. “A Chantar” (https://youtu.be/dczeBW3r_Mg?si=eW4chJ5ZYMD4A5Nj) is a secular piece *dodges holy water* but I think it’s both a beautiful piece of music and the lady who makes these harp videos is hilarious lol

Chiara Margarita Cozzolani was a Baroque era Italian Composer, Singer, Roman Catholic Benedictine Nun and Abbess. She was one of more than a dozen cloistered women who published sacred music in seventeenth-century Italy. “O praeclara dies” is actually a motet written for Christmas (https://youtu.be/DD56SQpPYb8?si=U0fkwhJoaVBCzlmF)

Enhéduanna was a Sumerian Princess, Priestess, Hymnographer, Poet and Composer who is considered to be the earliest known named author in world history. A Trobairitz by trade, she was essentially one of several female noblewomen who were traveling troubadours. In Enhéduanna’s case she mostly traveled around Mesopotamia (fuzzily the area around modern day Iraq) “The Exhaltation of Inanna” (https://youtu.be/PSoLHfnr5Gc?si=c_fFINAIpH7lS1Gw) is one of her few surviving pieces

“Gli Ochi Lucent'e Belli” (https://youtu.be/gq20oFkxwn8?si=cU0w6_bMXc6Jr9rq) by Maddalena Casulana is notable for its use of polyphony (the use of 2 or more melodic lines), which was not widely used in compositions at this time.

Maddalena Casulana was Renaissance era Italian Composer, Singer and Lutenist who was the first woman to ever publish her own musical compositions that were attributed to herself. Around 70 of her madrigals are believed to still be surviving. “La Dea Che Nel Mar Nacque” (https://youtu.be/nmodSWZrkJ4?si=9H0J6iVsWR5h3_UR) refers to the birth of the Goddess Venus
