| Claudio MONTEVERDI – Vespro della Beata Vergine |
 Claudio MonteverdiVespro della Beata Vergine (1610) "Vespro della Beata Vergine da concerto, composta sopra canti fermi" (1610) are often regarded as the greatest Monteverdi's work ever. The Vespers is monumental in scale, and requires a choir large enough and skillful enough to cover up to 10 vocal parts in some movements and split into separate choirs in others while accompanying seven different soloists during the course of the piece.
