Description

The title is a play on Lucrezia Marinella's feminist treatise ''The Nobility and Excellence of Women and the Defects and Vices of Men' (published 1600). Sine Nomine, Anne Lyman conducting, features a cappella Renaissance music written by composers working for powerful women, or by women themselves- including sacred and secular works from England, Italy, France and Spain, and highlighting Thomas Tallis' magnificent 'Gaude Gloriosa' and William Byrd's joyous 'Magnificat' from 'The Great Service.'
