Isabella Leonarda:
Vespers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 1698
In this concert, Publick Musick brings to life vocal and instrumental music by the most prolific female composer of the 17th century, Isabella Leonarda, an Ursuline nun. Recognized as a master of the solo motet, Leonarda was also a superb composer of instrumental music, and this program will feature one of her trio sonatas as well as her beautiful and harmonically daring violin sonata, the first composed by a woman. Framing the program will be the Rochester premiere of movements for the Vespers service from her Op. 19. Published in 1698, near the end of her long life, they show her at the height of her compositional powers. Featuring solos by Rochester favorites Laura Heimes, soprano, Pablo Bustos, tenor, and Boel Gidholm, violin.
