Women Composing

a celebration through the centuries to the present


Julie Pinel (fl. 1710 – 1737)

Julie Pinel was born into a family of court musicians in France, but almost nothing more is known about her life. She published a collection of songs in 1737 that includes this lovely “Le Printems.” The video description includes an English translation of the lyrics, which begin “Nightgales you sing of the sweetness of the spring.”
