1611, from day to day
1611. With other artists, Carlo Gesualdo, Girolamo Frescobaldi 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 “Il primo libro de Madrigali, Opp. 1” de Heinrich Schütz, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1611 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1611.
