1608, from day to day
1608. With other artists, Claudio Monteverdi, Jacopo Peri and Tomás Luis de Victoria influenced their time (renaissance era / 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 “L’Arianna” de Claudio Monteverdi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1608 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists 18 of these moments for 1608.
