1669, from day to day
1669. With other artists, Alessandro Stradella, Constantijn Huygens and Giacomo Carissimi influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Louis Marchand, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Monsieur de Pourceaugnac” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1669 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 1669.
