Before looking for settings unfamiliar to me, I knew nothing about Isabella Leonarda, an Italian nun of the 17th century who wrote quite a bit of music which was quite well known in her home town of Novara, though not generally elsewhere or after her death.

The performance is a bit rough in places but congratulations for them for performing and posting her setting.

Score
