Vespro Della Beata Vergine, 1610

Vespro della Beata Vergine is a collection of sacred music (Vespers) by Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi, published in 1610. The work blends late Renaissance polyphony with emerging early Baroque concertato techniques—alternating solo and choral material with varied instrumental colour—and documents Monteverdi's transition toward a more vocal-instrumental approach in sacred music at the start of the seventeenth century.
