- Claudio Monteverdi
Vespro 1610
Three anthologies of sacred music gather almost all of Claudio Monteverdi’s religious music. Chronologically his second collection Selva Morale e Spirituale (1640-41) occupies a unique place among the similar publications by the composer’s contemporaries. The volume of his work is highly impressive: 37 vocal parts, distributed in a highly varied manner between 1 to 8 voices, a great diversity of style with compositions that are unquestionably inspired by the past, while others have the innovative ardour of the secunda prattica.
