1684, from day to day
1684. With other artists, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Juana Inés de la Cruz and Marc-Antoine Charpentier influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Francesco Durante, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Amadis” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1684 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 40 of these moments for 1684.
