I monasteri italiani del Seicento ospitavano donne estremamente colte, indipendenti e creative, spesso protagoniste misconosciute della vita musicale del loro tempo. Il programma intitolato La diva reclusa è dedicato proprio alla musica per voce sola e basso continuo di due religiose ribelli, Lucrezia Orsina Vizzana e Chiara Margarita Cozzolani.
Nata a Bologna, Lucrezia Vizzana (1590-1662) si formò nel monastero camaldolese di Santa Cristina della Fondazza, pubblicando nel 1623 i Componimenti musicali de motetti concertati, una delle prime raccolte a stampa di musiche scritte da una donna. La vivace vita musicale del convento, spesso restia a rispettare i limiti imposti alle donne dal Concilio di Trento, urtò la sensibilità delle autorità ecclesiastiche, al punto che il convento fu chiuso.
Margarita Cozzolani (1602 – ca. 1676-78) prese i voti nel monastero benedettino di Santa Radegonda a Milano, col nome di Chiara. Anche Santa Radegonda, di cui Chiara divenne badessa, era noto per le attività musicali delle religiose: secondo la testimonianza di Filippo Picinelli (Ateneo de i letterati milanesi, Milano, 1670) “le monache di Santa Radegonda di Milano, nel possesso della musica sono dotate di così rara isquisitezza, che vengono riconosciute per le prime cantatrici d’Italia. […] Frà quelle religiose, merita sommi vanti Donna Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, Chiara di nome, ma più di merito”.

There is an association between the monastic lifestyle of cloistered nuns and piety, complacency and simplicity. This association, however, is a direct contrast to the women inhabiting the convents of
Italy during the 17th century, as these convents were the gathering place of highly educated, fiercely independent and creative women.
These cloistered women used singing and composition to communicate their identity and their devotion beyond the convent walls, all the while developing their social and financial independence. Their musical practices made the nuns both controversial and alluring to the outside world and, as such, were routinely under attack by various Archbishops for drawing too much attention to themselves.
Our programme focuses on the music from two of the convents where lived two of the most infamously rebellious cloistered composers – Lucrezia Orsina Vizzana (Santa Cristina della Fondazza, Bologna) and Chiara Margarita Cozzolani (Santa Radegonda, Milan). These women went against the authority of the men who tried to control them and limit their musical expression and became famous for their insubordination and publishing of their music. This rarely performed music will be brought with the inclusion of liturgical chant, performed in the the tradition of the region and in the manner with which it would have been sung at the time in the convents where Vizzana and Cozzolani were writing their music. Our programme will shed light on a portion of the enormous musical outpouring from these convents, with all the devotion, spirituality and radicalisms these intimate divas spun into their composition.
