Gertrud Elisabeth Mara worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Gertrud Elisabeth Mara as German operatic soprano (1749–1833).
Gertrud Elisabeth Mara was born at Kassel in 1749. Her recorded nationality is Electorate of Hesse.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
She worked as opera singer.
The instruments recorded are voice.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
That the work came out of Electorate of Hesse shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Gertrud Elisabeth Mara died in 1833, aged 84. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
