1610, from day to day
1610. With other artists, Tomás Luis de Victoria, John Dowland and William Byrd influenced their time (renaissance era / baroque era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, while others would disappear such as Girolamo Diruta. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Sanctissimae Virgini Missa” de Claudio Monteverdi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1610 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 1610.
