The FIRST Dominant 7th Chord

Claudio Monteverdi is responsible for more than just pioneering the genre of Opera... He also wrote the first functional V7 chord! This is an analysis "Cruda Amarilli", the madrigal where he started his "Second Practice" and a new type of music composition.

Monteverdi began the Baroque era in music.
An example of his innovations would be a comparison between classic Renaissance choral music (such as from Palestrina or Josquin des Prez) and Monteverdi’s Magnificat.
The Second Practice became the roots of the Baroque. Opera also drove Baroque musical innovations.
Monteverdi was the first great opera composer.
Listen to Adriane’s Lament (solo and madrigal versions). Besides the dissonances, Monteverdi has a very different goal from the perfect calm of the Renaissance choral composers.
Monteverdi’s music brings forth emotions of ultimate agony and despair.
Monteverdi set the stage for the next 150 years of classical music.

And it reached the pinnacle with Bach!

@@danielkrenz; yes. Beyond the great Bach there is also Schutz, Purcell, Vivaldi and Handel (among many others). All who were under the umbrella of Montevedi’s influence.
When I visited Venice years ago, I was able to see the tomb of this innovative composer.
