  2. History: That year
  3. 1668

The year 1668 in classical music and in lyrical art

1668. With other artists, Giacomo Carissimi, Athanasius Kircher and Francesco Cavalli 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 “Plaude laetare Gallia” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.

All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1668 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 1668.
