	Francesca Caccini - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Francesca Caccini (September 18, 1587 – probably 1640) was an Italian composer, singer, lutenist, and music teacher of the early Baroque era.
		She was the daughter of Giulio Caccini, and was probably the most famous and influential female European composer, in any genre, between Hildegard of Bingen in the 12th century and the 19th century.
		Florentine records show that a Francesca Caccini, wife of a senator, died in 1640, which would imply that she remarried if this was her; alternatively that may have been someone else, and she may have died earlier.

	Biography: Caccini, Francesca
		Caccini was also a poet and is known to have written poetry in both Italian and Latin, probably including lyrics for most of her published songs.
		Francesca's growing renown brought her job offers from the court of King Henry IV in 1605 and from Princess Margherita della Somaglia-Peretti, sister-in-law of Cardinal Montalto, both offering a substantial salary and dowry.
		Two major works by Caccini survive: Il primo libro delle musiche a una e due voci, a collection of 32 songs and four soprano and bass duets; and her opera La liberazione di Ruggiero dall'isola d'Alcina, which was first performed on 3 February, 1625, at the Ville Poggio Imperiale in Florence.

	Giulio Caccini (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		With Caccini's abilities as a singer, instrumentalist, and composer added to the mix of intellects and talents, the Camerata developed the concept of monody—an emotionally affective solo vocal line, accompanied by relatively simple chordal harmony on one or more instruments—which was a revolutionary departure from the polyphonic practice of the late Renaissance.
		Caccini's character seems to have been less than perfectly honorable, as he was frequently motivated by envy and jealousy, not only in his professional life but for personal advancement with the Medici.
		Caccini's achievement was to create a type of direct musical expression, as easily understood as speech, which later developed into the operatic recitative, and which influenced numerous other stylistic and textural elements in Baroque music.

	International Women's Day
		The eldest daughter of prominent composer Giulio Caccini (1546—1618), Francesca, nicknamed "La Cecchina" ("the songbird") by the Florentines for her lovely singing, received early training in singing and composition from her father at a time when monody and opera were new and growing genres.
		Francesca was admired by the Medici court and famous intellects of the day, including composer Claudio Monteverdi, Italian Renaissance poet Gabriello Chiabrera and opera composer Giacomo Peri.
		Impressed by Francesca's October 1600 performance at her wedding to King Henry IV of France, Maria de' Medici took notice of this rising star, asking Giulio to consider keeping Francesca at the French court permanently.

		Francesca’s obvious mastery of the craft of representation, her work in constructing musical models of the very subjectivity this letter presents as real, inevitably lead me to hear the letter as a highly calculated, bravura performance.
		Francesca herself seemed to anticipate that Cioli might hear it thus, for she interrupts one of her twisting, nearly interminable sentences to remind him “these are not my imaginings, but the purest truth”.
		Francesca’s letter to Cioli was meant to provide him with the rhetorical tropes through which he could best represent her feeling, her thoughts, and her dilemma..

		Francesca, more than her sister, has passed into posterity: singer, composer and poet, but also harp, guitar and harpsichord virtuoso (indispensable complements to her declaimed song), she was also the first woman in the history of music to compose an opera.
		Finally in 1607 Francesca was officially salaried to the court in Florence, and promised in marriage to one of the singers of the court: Giovanni Battista Signorini.

	Francesca Caccini \| Classical music composer
		Francesca made her debut when she was just thirteen years old, singing in her father’s opera Euridice, Francesca sang this pioneering music in the new singing style so well that the king of France wanted to employ her in his Parisian court.
		Francesca’s one surviving opera, “La Liberazione di Ruggiero”, first performed in Florence in 1625, is derived from the same source — the 16th-century poet Lodovico Ariosto’s romantic epic, Orlando furioso — as Handel’s Alcina, but of course the music of Francesca Caccini’s opera is much closer in style to Monteverdi.
		Though Francesca Caccini’s success was much due to her talent, the fact that she was Giulio Caccini’s daughter certainly must have aided her, especially in her unusual endeavors as a composer.
