HOASM: The Venetian Style (1141 words) |
 | Having the choir divided for the antiphonal singing of part-music was a device known in the north; moreover, it was not new to Italian soil, but the old practice was to achieve new life at the hands of Willaert (who, however, is not credited with its invention by Zarlino, as is often claimed). |

 | It was in Giovanni's motets that the Venetian style of polychoral composition attained its culmination. |
