One of the most prolific female composers of the 17th century, Isabella Leonarda, was also a high-ranking nun in an Ursuline convent, fulfilling all of her duties as a nun before composing on her own time - which we assume means she never slept! Her motets would be an excellent way to begin a recital.
While several of her works are available for purchase, the motets we discuss on this episode are on IMSLP - make sure to click on the "collections" tab to find several of her motets.
