We may not have heard of these composers, but they were very important in their time. Ferrari was a lute player, libretist and a composer of opera Barbara Strozzi was a famous singer who also composed her own songs. Way ahead of her time in the 17th century, she composed and published her own music without help from the Curch or Patrons.
Sances was a singer and composer, famous during his time, having composed much sacred and secular music. The other two composers, Frescobaldi and Monteverdi enjoy greater popularity, and their music is heard and performed very much today in concert halls and on recordings.
