The year 1680 in classical music and in lyrical art
1680. With other artists, Henry Purcell, Athanasius Kircher and Marc-Antoine Charpente influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Athanasius Kircher. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Proserpine” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1680 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 120 of these moments for 1680.
