From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caterina Assandra (c. 1590 - after 1618) was an Italian composer and Benedictine nun. She was born in Pavia. She wrote a number of motets, whose text she may have written, as well as a number of organ pieces, written in German tablature. Her works were among the first to be written in the Roman style in Milan. She was taught by Benedetto Rè (Reggio), and was mentioned by the publisher Lomazzo in the dedication of G.P. Cima's works. She was a nun at Sant'Agata in Lomello. She may have been trained in music because of her future religious vocation. Her surviving motet book is Motetti à due, & tre voci, op.2 (Milan, 1609).
