The year 1663 in classical music and in lyrical art
1663. With other artists, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Athanasius Kircher and Heinrich Schütz influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “L'Impromptu de Versailles” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1663 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 1663.
