The year 1687 in classical music and in lyrical art
1687. With other artists, Johann Pachelbel, Dietrich Buxtehude and Jean-Baptiste Lully influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Jean-Baptiste Lully. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Achille et Polyxène” de Jean-Baptiste Lully, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1687 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 60 of these moments for 1687.
