Abstract: I have brought together previously scattered information concerning the music-making, and particularly the singing, of Italian Renaissance courtesans, concentrating on three women: Veronica Franco, Tullia of Aragon, and Gaspara Stampa. The singing of these women was word-oriented, and beautiful in the sense of expressive.;Included in the dissertation is a large section of music--a hypothetical evening's entertainment representing the variety of music performed by these women, and an appendix of pieces dedicated to particular courtesans, indicating their importance in the social/musical world of sixteenth-century Venice.
