Sulpitia Lodovica Cesis came from Modena, the daughter of nobility. She entered the convent of San Geminiano in 1593. The convent was known for its excellent music. Cesis played the lute well, and she composed an important collection of motets for two to twelve voices, Motetti spirituali, in 1619, several for antiphonal choirs. Io son ferito sì (I Am Wounded, Yes) and Cantate Domino (O Sing Unto the Lord a New Song) from Psalm 98 were written for Trumpets I-II, Trombones I-II, Trumpets III-IV, Trombones III-IV and showcases the imaginative interweaving and combined brilliance of the eight brass instruments.
