The year 1610 in classical music and in lyrical art
1610. With other artists, William Byrd, Carlo Gesualdo and John Dowland influenced their time (renaissance era / baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Michel Lambert, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Sanctissimae Virgini Missa” de Claudio Monteverdi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1610 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 30 of these moments for 1610.
