1641, from day to day
1641. With other artists, Gregorio Allegri, Giacomo Carissimi and Marin Mersenne 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 “Le nozze d’Enea con Lavinia” de Claudio Monteverdi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1641 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists 14 of these moments for 1641.
