Vespro Di Natale

Album by Claudio Monteverdi

Vespro di Natale is a collection of sacred Vespers composed by Claudio Monteverdi, first published in 1610. The music exemplifies early Baroque concertato practice, combining polyphonic choral textures with soloistic passages and instrumental basso continuo, and it marks Monteverdi's shift from Renaissance polyphony toward the expressive approaches of the Baroque in liturgical music.
