Fontijn, Claire (Phyllis Henderson Carey Professor of Music, Phyllis Henderson Carey Professor of Music, Wellesley College)
Forced to leave Venice, Bembo, mother of three, fled to Paris and joined glorifying Louis XIV. Her music - opera, love song, cantata, motet, air - testifies to the magic of her singing voice. Fontijn's pathbreaking biography demonstrates how a courageous, talented woman thrived within the parameters of society and culture.
