In 1608 he published, in Venice, his Primo libro de' concerti ecclesiastici (First book of church concerts) including music in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 parts, with instrumental accompaniments. The instruments specified include cornetts, trombones and violins.[1] The "Sancta Maria" from this collection anticipates the texture of the "Sonata sopra Sancta Maria" of Claudio Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine of 1610.[2]
