Notes:
Sulpitia Lodovica Cesis was an Italian composer and lutenist born in Modena in 1577. In 1593 she entered the Augustinian convent of San Geminiano in Modena, which was known for its musical activity. Her only known publication is Motetti spirituali (1619), a collection of 23 sacred motets for two to twelve voices. The collection is notable for its varied vocal forces and indications for instruments including cornetts and trombones, offering valuable evidence of musical practice in Italian convents in the early seventeenth century.
