Marieta Morosina Priuliaus barock

Marieta Morosina Priuli (fl. 1667) was an Italian composer.

Life

She was born in Venice into the Morosina family. Priuli published a collection of works in 1667 dedicated to the Habsburg Dowager Empress Eleonor Magdalene of Neuburg entitled Balletti e correnti. It included five sets of pieces for three string instruments and harpsichord continuo, and eight correnti.

Only two Italian women from this period of time are known to have published instrumental music. Each of them published only one collection in this field. Priuli’s Balletti e correnti was one of these collections. The other was Isabella Leonarda’s Opus 16.
