  2. History: That year
  3. 1666

The year 1666 in classical music and in lyrical art

1666. With other artists, Athanasius Kircher, Heinrich Schütz and John George II, Elector of Saxony 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 “Opus Ultimum - Schwanengesang: Königs und Propheten Davids hundert und neunzehender Psalm … nebenst dem Anhange des 100., Op. 13” de Heinrich Schütz, for example.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1666 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists 20 of these moments for 1666.
