The author discusses various forms of musical activity of nuns in the 17th and 18th century: plainsong, polyphony, vocal-instrumental, chamber, and keyboard music. To consider the role of music in liturgy, monastic events, and everyday life, she describes the recruitment of musically gifted candidates and the scriptorial activity of nuns.
