Female musicians, particularly singers, experienced expanded roles in Baroque music life. Two singers, Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, were among the earliest female composers to publish their works.

Explanation:

Baroque music is usually exuberant: energetic rhythms, melody with many ornaments, contrasts of instrumental tones and strong with soft sounds. Most of the new trends originated in Italy and their musicians dominated in all fields.

In this period, we should highlight the importance of some female singers, who helped this musical style to gain notoriety. Among these singers, Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi are the most representative.

The Italian Francesca Caccini, also known as La Cecchina (pun on the term cecchino, which means sniper), was born in Florence on September 18, 1587. She was the first songwriter to write an opera, and author of a vast music production. In addition, she was the highest paid artist - singer and songwriter at the Tuscan Court, either under the direction of Grand Duke Ferdinando I, Cosimo II or Ferdinando II. She even received an invitation to join the music service of the French Court of Henri IV, which was prevented by Ferdinando I for not dismissing her from his team.

Barbara Strozzi, was an Italian composer who lived between 1619 and 1677, and stands out for the composition of arias, ariettas and sung. Barbara has published eight volumes of her compositions and is the author of the works "Moralità Amorosa" e "Hor che Apollo".

horror and alarm

this is shown in the exserp then he beat at the door and called, but none responded, and for wrath he could have dashed the door down, but it was too stout, and he had no weapon; for his arms had been taken from him.when it was dark, suddenly it seemed to sir lancelot that the room smelled foul, as if he had been carried into the midst of the quaking marsh, and was sunk deep in the slime and weeds of a pool. then, through the arrow-slit, he saw many strange lights come, dim and blue like the wild lights that dance and flit over the lonely marshes by night; but that which made him   marvel was that these lights were two together, as if they were the eyes of evil things. and they came up to him with a breath that was cold and dank, and they seemed to peer into his face, but he could see naught of their bodies. the hair upon his head rose, and his skin went cold. they pressed all about him, and to defend himself he struck at the eyes, but his blows beat only the air. then suddenly sir lancelot felt sharp pains, as if small keen knives had been thrust into his flesh at many places. the stabs increased in number and in pain, and sir lancelot beat about himself and ran to and fro in the narrow chamber to escape   the evil eyes and the stabs, but it was in vain, and thus all night in much misery he suffered. when for sheer weariness he lay down and tried to close his eyes, the evil things would not let him, but ever they tore at him and stabbed him.
