Strozzi was said to be "the most prolific composer - man or woman - of printed secular vocal music in Venice in the Middle of the century."[5] Her output is also unique in that it only contains secular vocal music, with the exception of one volume of sacred songs.[6] She was renowned for her poetic ability as well as her compositional talent. Her lyrics were often poetic and well-articulated.[2]
Nearly three-quarters of her printed works were written for soprano, but she also published works for other voices.[7] Her compositions are firmly rooted in the seconda pratica tradition. Strozzi’s music evokes the spirit of Cavalli, heir of Monteverdi. However, her style is more lyrical, and more dependent on sheer vocal sound.[8] Many of the texts for her early pieces were written by her father Giulio. Later texts were written by her father's colleagues, and for many compositions she may have written her own texts.
