Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Even today, very few of her pieces are performed. I was unable to find any recordings of her sacred music, but the video of one of her cantatas above can give an idea to her style. Given her time spent with Mozart and Haydn, elements of their style can be heard in her compositions. Her cantatas were composed "purely for her own delight" and not to serve any purpose beyond her enjoyment; as an experienced singer, she may have written them for her own performance.¹²
