- Caterina Benedicta Grazianini
Caterina Benedicta Grazianini ("fl." early-18th century) was a composer active in Vienna, originally from Italy. She was one of the female composers in a group active at the time, who Wellesz believed were regular canonesses, rather than employed at the court. This group included Maria de Raschenau, Maria Margherita Grimani, and Camilla de Rossi. [Raschenau] Grazianini is known only through her two surviving works, the oratorios "S Gemignano vescovo e protettore di Modena" (performed 1705 and 1715) and "S Teresa". On one of these is a note to the effect that it was performed for the ladies of Modena and Brunswick, and was very well received. [Jackson] Her works are in two sections and an Italian overture, for four soloists and string orchestra. [Grazianini]
