There is de Rossi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camilla_de_Rossi
...and a decent recording by JoAnn Falletta on "lute" (I'm not certain which incarnation of lute) of one of de Rossi's works for archlute and strings on: Bay Area Women's Philharmonic. 1990. Baroquen Treasures. Newport Classic, NCD 60102. I don't know how easy it would be to locate this recording any longer. The performer, Falletta, is now pretty famous as a guitarist and conductor; She now has a concerto competition named in her honor: http://www.fallettacompetition.org/ Enjoy, Eugene ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Date: Thursday, September 10, 2009 8:02 pm Subject: [LUTE] Re: Imbalance To: Lute list <[email protected]>, Suzanne and Wayne <[email protected]>, [email protected] > Hello Chris, > Since you are actively engaged in scholarly pursuits regarding > the lute, > have you run into any decomposing lute composers who have been > found to be women? > > I only have music by Madamoiselle Bocquet.
