1621, from day to day
1621. With other artists, Claudio Monteverdi, Jacopo Peri and William Byrd influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Syncharma musicum : En novus Elysiis” de Heinrich Schütz, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1621 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 20 of these moments for 1621.
