Julie d'Aubigny is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Julie d'Aubigny as 17th-century French opera singer.
Julie d'Aubigny was born at Paris in 1673. Her recorded nationality is France.
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 actor, opera singer and swordfighter.
The instruments recorded are voice.
What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.
That the work came out of France shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Julie d'Aubigny died in 1707, aged 34. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
