In 17th century Italy, convents offered women a path in life where music and creativity flourished. Girls, for whom marriage was financially impossible, often found their way to convents, which became centers for music and composition.
Musical nuns were quite famous; people wrote about them and went to the convents to listen to their music. Performances provided the nuns with a livelihood, and since singing nuns could not be seen, a wall was built between the nuns and the audience. However, the wall did not reach the ceiling, allowing the music to carry over to the audience.
The work of these nuns has left a mark on Christian musical tradition, preserving the voice of a woman from over 300 years ago in church music.
