The year 1597 in classical music and in lyrical art
1597. With other artists, Michael Praetorius, John Dowland and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck influenced their time (renaissance 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 “Lamentatio Henrici Noel” de John Dowland, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1597 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 60 of these moments for 1597.
