about

Claudia Francesca Rusca began her musical studies at home before taking her vows alongside several of her aunts, cousins and sisters at the Umiliate monastery of S Caterina in Brera, Milan. Here she served as a composer, singer, organist and music teacher. Her Sacri Concerti à1-5 con Salmi e Canzoni Francesi was dedicated to Archbishop Federico Borromeo (1564-1631) and published by up-and-coming music printer Giorgio Rolla in Milan during the Great Plague of Milan (also referred to as the Italian Plague of 1629–1631), a second plague pandemic brought to the Italian peninsula by troops fighting in the Thirty Years War. Among her collected works, Rusca composed sacred concerti, vespers, a Magnificat and numerous motets. The Canzoni Francesi presented here are especially noteworthy as they are the earliest published instrumental works composed by a woman.
