GREAT SHARE AND SAVE TO THE WALL! Lisa Marie Belz I had absolutely NO IDEA that a 17th century Ursuline nun (my religious order) was a composer. Thanks to the Ursulines of Youngstown for sharing this youtube clip in honor of National Catholic Sisters Week! From the National Catholic Sisters Week page: Who was an Ursuline and Baroque composer? Among the most famous musicians of early modern Lombardy were its cloistered nuns. Anna Isabella Leonarda (6 September 1620 – 25 February 1704) was an Italian composer from Novara. At the age of 16 she entered an Ursuline convent. Leonarda is most renowned for the numerous compositions that she created during her time at the convent, making her one of the most productive woman composers of her time. youtube/watch?v=lSKkglNwQEU&list=RDlSKkglNwQEU
