1617 in music

The year 1617 in music involved some significant events.

Events

* "The Vision of Delight", a masque written by Ben Jonson and designed by Inigo Jones, is performed at Whitehall Palace, probably on January 6, with a second performance of January 19. The work features music by Nicholas Lanier.
* "Lovers Made Men", another masque by Jonson, Jones, and Lanier, is performed on Saturday, February 22. (Lanier's music for the masque may have featured recitatives throughout; if so, it would have been a significant precursor of English opera. But Lanier's music for the work has not survived.)
