    18 wonderful works by Vittoria Aleotti, an innovative early Italian Baroque composer and one of the least well known. Aleotti had a musical childhood, including two years of lessons at the Convent of San Vito, before she decided to take vows as a nun at that convent.

The resulting secular work is scored for a mixed chorus, and Cappella Clausura adds men for this occasion.
