Synopsis

Album Description
Raphaella Aleotti (1575-1646?), the first Italian nun to have published any music, was concert mistress of the Nuns of San Vito, a convent in Ferrara, Italy. Her collection of Sacrae cantiones was published in Venice in 1593. A contemporary described the nuns' playing and singing "with such grace, and genteel manners, and such just and sonorous intonation of the voices" that it was almost unbelievable.
