</style>Italian pronunciation: [franˈtʃeska katˈtʃiːni]; 18 September 1587 – most likely between 1641 and 1645)<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> was an Italian composer, singer, <a href="Lute" title="Lute">lutenist</a>, poet, and music teacher of the early <a href="Baroque_music" title="Baroque music">Baroque</a> era. She was also known by the nickname La Cecchina [la tʃekˈkiːna], given to her by the <a href="Florence" title="Florence">Florentines</a> and probably a diminutive of Francesca.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAlexander_and_Savino199720-2">[2]</a> She was the daughter of <a href="Giulio_Caccini" title="Giulio Caccini">Giulio Caccini</a>. Her only surviving stage work, <a href="La_liberazione_di_Ruggiero" title="La liberazione di Ruggiero">La liberazione di Ruggiero</a>, is widely considered the oldest opera by a woman composer.<a href="#cite_note-:1-3">[3]</a> As a female composer she helped to solidify the agency and the cultural and political programs of her female patron.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_life">Early life</h3></div>

Caccini was born in <a href="Florence" title="Florence">Florence</a>, and received a humanistic education (Latin, some Greek, as well as modern languages and literature, mathematics) in addition to early musical training with her father. According to Liliana Panella, the first well-founded testimony of Francesca's singer's activity, together with her sister Settimia, at the Medici court, is 1602: in his diary Cesare Tinghi notes that on 3 April 1602 St. Nicholas church in Pisa, where the court moved every year during Lent, polychoral music was directed by "Giulio Romano [Giulio Caccini], having the wife (the second wife, Margherita) and the two daughters singing well".<a href="#cite_note-Pannella-5">[5]</a>

In her early life, Caccini performed with her parents, her half-brother Pompeo, her sister <a href="Settimia_Caccini" title="Settimia Caccini">Settimia</a>, and possibly other unnamed Caccini pupils in an ensemble contemporaries referred to as le donne di Giulio Romano. After she was hired by the court, she continued to perform with the family ensemble until Settimia's marriage and resulting move to Mantua caused its breakup. Caccini served the Medici court as a teacher, chamber singer, rehearsal coach and composer of both chamber and stage music until early 1627. By 1614 she was the court's most highly paid musician, in no small part because her musical virtuosity so well exemplified an idea of female excellence projected by Tuscany's de facto Regent, Grand-Duchess <a href="Christina_of_Lorraine" title="Christina of Lorraine">Christina of Lorraine</a>. By 1623 she earned 240 <a href="Italian_scudo" title="Italian scudo">scudi</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:0-6">[6]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Later_life">Later life</h3></div>

After Caccini's first husband (Giovanni Battista Signorini, with whom she had one daughter, Margherita, in 1622) died in December 1626, she quickly arranged to marry again in October 1627, this time to a music-loving nobleman in <a href="Lucca" title="Lucca">Lucca</a>, Tommaso Raffaelli. Although her legal name remained Francesca de Giulio Caccini, it was only the discovery of documents using Francesca Raffaelli that makes it possible to find evidence of her life from 1627 to 1634.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

She lived in Raffaelli's Lucchese homes, apparently bearing a son (also Tommaso, in 1628), and having some musical relationship to the Buonvisi family in Lucca, until his death in 1630.<a href="#cite_note-Cypess-8">[8]</a> Although as the wife of a nobleman she had declined at least one request to perform (in Parma, in 1628), once she was widowed Caccini immediately tried to return to serve the Medici court. Her return delayed by the plagues of 1630–33, by 1634 Caccini was back in Florence with her two children, serving as music teacher not only to her daughter Margherita but also to the Medici princesses who lived at or frequently visited the convent of La Crocetta, and composing and performing chamber music and minor entertainments for the women's court. Caccini stopped serving the Medicis on 8 May 1641, and disappeared from the public record.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Professional_career">Professional career</h2></div>

Caccini is believed to have been a quick and prolific composer, equal in productivity to her court colleagues <a href="Jacopo_Peri" title="Jacopo Peri">Jacopo Peri</a> and <a href="Marco_da_Gagliano" title="Marco da Gagliano">Marco da Gagliano</a>. Very little of her music survives. Most of her stage music was composed for performance in comedies by poet <a href="Michelangelo_Buonarroti_the_Younger" title="Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger">Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger</a> (grand-nephew of the artist) such as La Tancia (1613), Il passatempo (1614) and La fiera (1619). In 1618 she published a collection of thirty-six solo songs and soprano/bass duets (Il primo libro delle musiche)<a href="#cite_note-Cypess-8">[8]</a> that is a compendium of contemporary styles, ranging from intensely moving, harmonically adventurous laments to joyful sacred songs in Italian and Latin, to witty strophic songs about the joys and perils of romantic love.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>

In winter 1625 Caccini composed all the music for a 75-minute "comedy-ballet" entitled La liberazione di Ruggiero dall'isola d'Alcina which was performed for the visiting crown prince of Poland, Ladislaus Sigismondo (later <a href="Ladislaus_IV_of_Poland" class="mw-redirect" title="Ladislaus IV of Poland">Władysław IV</a>). Combining witty parodies of early opera's stock scenes and self-important characters with moments of surprising emotional intensity, the score shows that Caccini had mastered the full range of musico-theatrical devices in her time and that she had had a strong sense of large-scale musical design. La liberazione so pleased the prince that he had it performed in <a href="Warsaw" title="Warsaw">Warsaw</a> in 1628. This is also widely regarded as the first opera written by a woman.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> There is no evidence to suggest that Caccini composed any of the accompanying poetry, however, which is instead by her contemporaries Michelangelo Buonarroti, Andrea Salvadori and Francesco Gualterotti.<a href="#cite_note-:2-12">[12]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Compositional_style">Compositional style</h3></div>

Caccini's musical and compositional style has been likened to that of <a href="Claudio_Monteverdi" title="Claudio Monteverdi">Monteverdi</a> and <a href="Jacopo_Peri" title="Jacopo Peri">Jacopo Peri</a>, and she started composing music after the closing of the <a href="Renaissance_music" title="Renaissance music">Renaissance</a> period, playing a key part in developing the <a href="Baroque_music" title="Baroque music">Baroque</a> style of music.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> She composed within a very innovative musical context.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> For many of her songs, she was the author of the accompanying poetry, which also tended to be comedic.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

Although the musical pieces did not denote a specific instrument for playing the accompaniment, a <a href="Theorbo" title="Theorbo">theorbo</a> could be used.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Works">Works</h2></div>

Francesca Caccini wrote some or all of the music for at least six staged works. All but La liberazione di Ruggiero and some excerpts from La Tancia and Il passatempo published in the 1618 collection are believed lost. Her surviving scores reveal Caccini to have taken extraordinary care over the notation of her music, focusing special attention on the rhythmic placement of syllables and words, and on the precise notation of often very long, melodically fluid vocal melismas. Although her music is not especially notable for the expressive dissonances made fashionable by her contemporary <a href="Monteverdi" class="mw-redirect" title="Monteverdi">Monteverdi</a>, Caccini was a master of dramatic harmonic surprise: in her music it is harmony, more than counterpoint, that most powerfully communicates affect.
