2019 Concert 3 Program.Pages Kansas City Baroque Consortium WOmenWOmen ofof NNoteote Saint Cecilia by NICOLAS POUSSIN (ca.1635) The Woman’s Voice as Composer, Patron, and Performer Concert III: Timeless Voices Friday, August 23 • 7:30 p.m. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church WELCome Dear Friends, Welcome to the final concert of our 2019 KC Baroque Summer Series. I am thrilled to welcome three remarkable musicans joining us for our program this evening! Soprano Victoria Botero, who is recognized for her rich, colorful voice and passionate storytelling; and harpsichordist (and musicologist) Alison DeSimone, who inspired and guided our programming in this summer’s celebration of women in music. One of the important ways KC Baroque seeks to build connections from the Baroque world to our contemporary world is through the commission of new works for old instruments. I am excited to present the award-winning local composer, Ingrid Stölzel, in tonight’s program with the premiere of “But a Day”. Our program notes give you a glimpse at Ingrid’s process in creating this new work for KCBC. What a marvelous journey it has been preparing this summer series of music that celebrates the voices of women in the Baroque era as performers, patrons and composers. Each program has brought riches to our ears. We’ve heard music written for the celebrated vocalists of the day, music written for or commissioned by two queens whose appreciation and support of the arts gives us a glimpse into the fascinating world of power, rhetoric and royalty. But it is this final concert of the season that offers us an opportunity to hear the voice of women composers: Isabella Leonarda, Francesca Caccini, Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Mademoiselle Duval, and Barbara Strozzi – born 400 years ago this month. These are voices that are rarely heard, whose works have been overlooked, forgotten, and dismissed. Among these women we have a nun, a single mother, a child prodigy, a woman of illegitimate birth, and a woman of noble birth. As women of this era were not allowed the same freedom to pursue their craft, education and a professional career as men were, we see that the success that these composers experienced was rare among women muscians. Their extraordinary talent, however, wasn’t enough to open doors. Their opportunities were provided for them, as the daughter or wife of a nobleman, as the daughter of a supportive (and socially connected) father, or as a servant of the church. Women musicians without these connections went unrecognized, and most importantly, unpublished! This evening, as we listen to their stories through the words of song, and to their unspoken joys and sorrows that ride on the melodies, rhythms and harmonies of their music, we are joining in the effort to lift the veil of obscurity that has rested on this remarkable body of work for 400 hundred years. These timeless voices speak to us across the centuries, they are as fresh, as profound, and as meaningful as any music you have heard this summer from our platform. I hope you enjoy tonight’s program, thank you for joining us this season, and please join us for the reception following in the Garden Room on the lower level. Thank you for being here!

And to: Eric Williams Photography, Ron Ray Video and Photography, Rob Patterson -3 Recording KC Program Notes, by Lacie Eades Kansas City Baroque’s 2019 summer season has illuminated the often-overlooked role of women in Early Music, taking as inspiration the 400th anniversary of the birth of Barbara Strozzi. Our June concert highlighted early modern women who performed virtuosic music in both private and public settings while our July performance recognized two women who dedicated their regal status and financial resources to support emerging music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. While some works by female composers appeared on previous concerts, such as Strozzi’s works on Concert I, tonight’s performance features only compositions by women composers, including Strozzi, her contemporaries Isabella Leonarda and Francesca Caccini, and late-Baroque composers Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and Mlle. Duval. Additionally, KC Baroque recognizes the work of contemporary female composers with the premiere of a new piece for soprano and early instruments by Ingrid Stölzel, Assistant Professor of Composition at the University of Kansas. Beginning in the middle of the sixteenth century, women composers achieved greater recognition than ever before, but this acknowledgment did not automatically signal a shift in social norms. Opportunities for female singers continued to increase, but musical composition and especially music publishing remained principally male pursuits in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Tonight’s concert offers a bit of a remedy to this anonymity through the music of some of the women who created a pathway for future female composers. Seventeenth-century women typically received a formal music education if they fell into one of three family circumstances. First, a child born into a family of professional musicians typically received musical training from her/his musical parent (most often her father). Alternatively, a child born into a noble family almost always received music instruction as part of her/his formal studies. Finally, children groomed for monastic life received formal music instruction as part of her/his religious education. Tonight’s program features music from women who fell into all three of these categories. 4 Program Notes, continued For many women, the convent offered a musical platform free of the stigma so often associated with women on stage. Given the amount of musical training many noble women received prior to taking monastic vows combined with the instruction they likely received within the convent walls, we should not be surprised at the number of female composers who created music for their religious communities. We are not surprised either that so little of it has survived. One exception is the extant music of Isabella Leonarda (1620 – 1704). Born into a notable Novarese family, Leonarda received a formal music education in line with her social status before entering the Collegio di S. Orsola as a nun. In fact, Leonarda served as music instructor at the Ursuline convent before her appointment as mother superior. Although convent life called for hours of service in daily household work and religious devotion, Leonarda managed to compose some two hundred musical works by her eightieth birthday and her oeuvre includes works in almost every sacred genre. And remarkably, in 1693, a collection of Leonarda’s instrumental works appeared in print, likely the earliest published sonatas by a woman. Tonight’s program opens with the tenth sonata from Leonarda’s groundbreaking opus. As a sonata da chiesa (sonata for the church), this work could substitute for certain portions of the sacred services. At the same time, the work could have served as private, secular entertainment. Although dance rhythms, such as the ones in this F-major sonata, appeared commonly in the sonata da chiesa genre, such movements seldom had clearly labeled dance names. Leonarda’s Sonata Decima features the typical sonata instrumentation for the period, two violins and basso continuo. Although this type of work is now called a trio sonata, the accompanying basso continuo group could range from one to three or four players. Tonight’s performance features two violins supported by a continuo trio of cello, harpsichord and Baroque guitar. The piece opens with the two solo violins chasing each other, first in a loose falling melody and then with an even quicker fanfare motive. Throughout the work, Leonarda intersperses lively passages for the soloists with moments of musical repose. These recitative-like sections provide a brief respite from the flurry of activity in Leonarda’s boisterous sonata. Although Leonarda herself offered no subtitle, later musicians nicknamed this piece “The Palindrome Sonata.” While not an exact mirror image of start and finish, the piece features balanced time signatures and tempo indications with several early sections repeated later on. Even an attentive listener might have trouble hearing this structure, but that Leonarda pulls off such a compositional juggling act confirms the confident skill with which she wrote. Program notes continue on page 6 5 Program Notes, continued Francesca Caccini (1587 – 1637), eldest daughter of famed Florentine composer, Giulio Caccini, received her musical training from her father, one of the most important composers of the early seventeenth century. In addition to lessons in voice and composition, Giulio also instructed his daughter on harpsichord and lute.

Program notes for Camerata Milwaukee for Dec 2, 2018 Our Advent-tide program this year includes several solo vocal cantatas, works by two Ursuline nuns, three Italian Christmas concertos, and various other baroque delights. Giuseppe Torelli is primarily known as a member of the Bolognese school of violinists and composers. He helped shape the genres of concerto and sonata into their mature forms under a variety of names, such as tonight’s “sinfonias”, which were published in 1692 as part of his Opus 5. Rather than the larger works which later came to be associated with this term, these two pieces are examples of trio sonatas scored for two violinists and basso continuo (a harpsichordist or organist who fills in the chordal structure plus a cellist reinforcing the bass line). The Italian nun Isabella Leonarda entered the Collegio di Sant'Orsola—an Ursuline convent in her hometown of Novara in northern Italy near Milan— at the age of sixteen.

  • Queen of Heaven Music of Isabella Leonarda in Honor of the Virgin Mary
    Classical Music Agency 33 W 60TH Street, Lib1-8 New York, NY 10023 Tel: +1-917-572-6859 DCA License #: 0897404 AGAVE BAROQUE REGINALD MOBLEY, countertenor Queen of Heaven Music of Isabella Leonarda in Honor of the Virgin Mary Although the Roman Catholic establishment did not accept the Divine Feminine as orthodoxy, within the walls of many convents in 17th century Italy, nuns ascribed to the Blessed Virgin Mary her own trinity, venerating her as Maiden, Mother, and Queen of Heaven. They also cultivated an unorthodox tradition of making music at a time when women typically had neither the education nor the freedom to write and perform music at a professional level. Anna Isabella Leonarda was born to a wealthy family who opted to send their daughter to spend her life as a nun rather than having to pay a hefty marriage dowry. Leonarda entered the Collegio di Sant’Orsola at sixteen, where she received a solid musical education and lived a fairly privileged life within her order, rising to be- come Mother Superior in her sixties, and dying a local celebrity at the age of 84. Leonarda published 20 volumes of music over a sixty year career––a worthy accomplishment for any 17th century com- poser, let alone a woman in an age of repression. Leonarda was an accomplished poet, and most probably wrote the texts to the three motets on this album. Her poetry is intimate, deeply personal, and speaks to the central place the Virgin Mary held in the worship life of the Ursuline sisters. Leonarda’s collection of instrumental music, published in 1693, includes the earliest known sonata for solo violin and basso continuo written by a female composer.

Finding Their Voice: Women Musicians of Baroque Italy Faith Poynor emale musicians began to achieve greater freedom and indepen- dence from men during the Baroque period, and their music and Fcreative talent consequently began to flourish. Due to the rise in popularity of female vocal ensembles that resulted after the establishment of the con- certo delle donne in 1580, women composers in early modern Italy gained greater access to musical training previously only available to men or nuns. As seen by the works of composers and singers such as Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, this led to an unprecedented increase in women’s mu- sical productivity, particularly in vocal music. The rise of female vocal ensembles in the early Baroque period was a pivotal moment in women’s music history, as women finally achieved wide- spread recognition for their talents as musicians.

FRANCESCA CACCINI (1587-1641): COMPOSER, PERFORMER, AND PROFESSOR REPRESENTED IN IL PRIMO LIBRO DELLE MUSICHE by MARINA MIRANDA Under the Direction of Marie Sumner Lott ABSTRACT This research analyses Francesca Caccini’s Il primo libro delle musiche as representative, not only of her musical style, but also of her characteristics as performer and voice teacher. The first chapters embrace her early musical life and the influences of her father in her musical style and career, followed by a brief explanation of Giulio Caccini’s compositional characteristics. The succeeding section clarifies the ornaments adopted by Francesca and her father in their songs, and the way they should be sang according to Giulio’s collection Le nuove musique. In order to analyze Il primo libro as an important pedagogic source to professors and students around 1600’s, the next chapters discuss the early concept of vocal technic and teaching during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries based on treatises by Píer Tosi and Giambattista Mancini, and how these ideas could be associated with Francesca as a voice professor and “maestrina” inside the Medici’s court.
