1694, from day to day
1694. With other artists, Henry Purcell, Alessandro Scarlatti and Johann Pachelbel influenced their time (baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Louis-Claude Daquin, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The way of God is an undefiled way” de Henry Purcell, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1694 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 50 of these moments for 1694.
