Duchess Elisabeth Sophie of Mecklenburg
Elisabeth Sophie of Mecklenburg, Duchess of Brunswick-Lüneburg (20 August 1613 – 12 July 1676) was a German poet and composer.
== Life ==
She began studying music at the court of her father, Duke John Albert II of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, where there was an orchestra known for its use of fine English musicians, such as William Brade.〔 She moved to the court of Kassel, which also had a strong musical tradition, when the Thirty Years War threatened her court in 1628. In 1635 she married the learned Augustus the Younger, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg.〔See Walter, ''Sophie Elisabeth''〕
Elisabeth Sophie was charged with organizing the court orchestra, and at times worked closely with Heinrich Schütz, who was appointed ''absentes'' Kapellmeister in 1655. She may have collaborated with him on arias in his ''Theatralische neue Vorstellung von der Maria Magdalena''.〔
Most of Elisabeth Sophie 's compositions are hymns or devotional arias. Some of these were published in 1651 and 1667. The one printed in 1651, ''Vinetum evangelicum, Evangelischer Weinberg'', is believed to have been the first music published by a woman in Germany.〔See Tick, ''Western Classical''〕 She also played a major role in establishing large court entertainments, including masquerades, plays, and ballets, to which she at times wrote librettos and music. Her additional involvement in these entertainments is unclear. Two of her dramatic works survive: ''Friedens Sieg'' (1642, Brunswick) and ''Glückwünschende Freudensdarstellung'' (Lüneburg, 1652).〔
