Sulpitia Cesis

Sulpitia Cesis

Sulpitia Cesis ("fl." 1619) was an Italian composer and lutenist in Modena at the convent of San Agostino . She is known only from her 1619 publication "Motetti Spitituale" (Modena, Giulian Cassiani), a collection of 23 sacred motets for two to twelve voices. Some of the scores indicate the use of cornetts and trombones, which were not allowed in the convent at this time. [Grove] She came from a noble family, the daughter of a count. [Bowers, pg 132, from Spaccini]

Cesis is mentioned in Giovanni Battista Spaccini's chronicle of life in Modena, as the composer of a motet which was performed at the doors of San Geminiano in 1596 during a religious procession. [Bowers, pg 120]
