From @joannechocolat Maddalena Casulana (1544–1590) was an Italian #composer, lutenist, and singer. In #Venice, her book of madrigals for four voices, "Il primo libro di madrigali", was the first printed and published work by a woman in Western #music #history. Personal note: much of her work has been lost or is incomplete, but several pieces have been found, restored, & were performed for the first time in 400 years in 2022, on BBC Radio 3 for #InternationalWomensDay #CelebratingWomen #Italy #Maddalena_Casulana #IWD #Artemisia_Gentileschi #Madrigals
