Abstract
This study reassesses the primary sources which trace the life of Madalena Casulana (c. 1540
– c. 1590), including in-depth analyses of her first four madrigals which were published in
the anthology Il Desiderio in 1566. As the first European woman to have published
collections of music in her own name, her early works are seminal in the history of music,
and yet widely unknown by the public and largely neglected even by music historians and
early music specialists. Through examining her context and life in addition to the historical
composition techniques used in these four works, this study aims to better understand
Casulana’s early compositional style.
