This is So Lit Song Lit, where we reimagine the repertoire by introducing less familiar songs through sound clips and lively discussion! Together we’ll be exploring songs by composers that you may or may not have heard of already, showing how they compare to standard works, and giving you a taste of what they sound like. Join us down the rabbit hole as we expand the song canon!

Barbara Strozzi

Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677) was a prolific composer of secular chamber music, publishing eight volumes of her works, more than most men of her time period. She composed almost exclusively for voice and continuo, with just one volume including works with ensembles, and she never composed nor sang opera.

Much of the information this season comes from Karin Pendle's Women and Music: A History.

Musical clips performed by Toni Marie Palmertree, soprano, Andrew Schucker, countertenor, and Ellen Rissinger, piano:

Spesso per entro al petto (found in Women Composers – A Heritage of Song High Voice * Low Voice)
Amore è bandito (found in 24 Italian Songs & Arias by Women Composers)
Sul Rodano severo
I baci (duet with Andrew and Toni)

Recorded at Morningstar Studios in Norristown, PA.

"Exactly" Counter - Ellen 1 (3), Toni 0 (1)
