  • Sandra Soler Campo Universidad de Barcelona

Abstract

In this article we will make a historical appeal of the Italian musical baroque in which we will describe what were the possibilities of women musicians in this period as well as the possibilities they had to study and later dedicate themselves to composition. It will also be mention the life and works of Vittoria Aleotti and Isabella Leonarda, two of the most representative composers of the 16th and 17th centuries of the Italian Baroque. Their works were mainly vocal and were written for one, two, three and/or four voices. All this took place at a historical moment when the public increasingly acclaimed the female voice.
