The year 1653 in classical music and in lyrical art
1653. With other artists, Samuel Scheidt, Barbara Strozzi and Johann Crüger 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 “La Nuit” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1653 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 20 of these moments for 1653.
