Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre

Hannah Adams

Born in Paris into a family of musicians and master instrument-makers, French Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre made the transition from a child prodigy to one of the few well-known female composers of her time. Among her compositions are two oratorios dealing with two of the most beloved female characters of Second Temple Judaism, Esther and Judith. In the same years another woman composer reached success and acclaim in Vienna, Austria. Maria Margherita Grimani's oratorios on New Testament subjects were the first compositions by a woman to be performed at the court theater.

Swedish poet Maria Gustava Gyllenstierna was one of the most learned women of her epoch and an accomplished author of religious and secular poetry, including five hundred or so (unpublished) sonnets about the life and death of Jesus (1730-36). In 1713-52 she translated the works of Josephus into Swedish, from the French edition by Arnauld d'Andilly.
