The year 1604 in classical music and in lyrical art
1604. With other artists, Michael Praetorius, Tomás Luis de Victoria and Jacopo Peri 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 “Lachrimae or Seaven Teares” de John Dowland, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1604 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 1604.
