  HOASM: Spiritual Concerto and Church Cantata
Unlike the conservative motet the chorale concertato was written in a progressive style, clearly manifested in the use of the continuo.
The various media of the chorale concertato, the many-voiced, the few-voiced, and the monodic, were no longer kept apart but were combined in large multipartite compositions in which solo, choral, and instrumental sections alternated.
The chorale concertato per omnes versus, that is with a varied setting for each stanza, can actually be called a cantata although we find as yet only very sporadically the distinguishing feature of the late baroque cantata, namely a freely inserted poetic passage that interrupts the liturgical text by moralizing reflections.

 Concertato - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Concertato (sometimes called "stile concertato") is a term in early Baroque music referring to either a genre or a style of music in which groups of instruments or voices share a melody, usually in alternation, and almost always over a basso continuo.
Often, sacred music in the concertato style in the early 17th century was descended from the motet: the texts that a hundred years earlier would have been set for a cappella voices singing in smooth polyphony, would now be set for voices and instruments in a concertato style.
The concertato style made possible the composition of extremely dramatic music, one of the characteristic innovations of the early Baroque.

 Ignazio Donati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was one of the pioneers of the style of the concertato motet.
He wrote motets using the new concertato style pioneered by the composers of the Venetian School, though he was not associated with Venice himself.
In addition to his concertato motets and other mixed instrumental-vocal music, he wrote some relatively conservative masses, which, however, are not in the polyphonic Palestrina style but find a middle-ground between the stile antico and the more modern harmonic practice.

 The Baroque Concerto
This principle, know as the stile concertato, originated in the late 16th century and took on greater significance throughout the 17th century, culminating in the development of a new instrumental form - the concerto - that capitalized specifically on this important Baroque principle of composition.
The use of musical forces in alternation has a very long history, but a group of late 16th and early 17th century Venetian composers in particular created some very dramatic works in which the antiphonal treatment, or the alternation of two or more performing forces, is the the central compositional element.
The Cathedral of San Marco, in Venice was the leader of this style and its most famous composer were: Adrian Willaert (c1490-1562) considered the founder of Venetian school, his pupil, Andrea Gabrieli (1515-1586) and his pupil and nephew, Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612).

 THE BAROQUE PERIOD (1600-1750)
This led to the development of concertato style, in which the playing of a soloist or small group of players was contrasted with that of the full ensemble.
During the early Baroque, the mass tended to be a conservative musical form, similar in style to the Franco-Flemish mass of the sixteenth century.
The motets of the Venetian school were written in concertato style, exploiting the colors of contrasting choral and instrumental forces.

As a result, the Roman contribution has been overlooked and an impression created that the sacred concertato style was largely a secular development which was afterwards adopted, somewhat reluctantly, for sacred music by a rather conservative Rome.
John Hill has now shown the importance of the Rome-Naples axis for the development of the secular concertato style and, while we still lack much information on Neapolitan developments in sacred music, it would appear that Rome at least was also crucial for the evolution of the sacred concerto.
In both its small-scale and large-scale forms, the Roman concertato style originated in the music written for informal devotional use in Rome during the 1560s and 1570s, and was nurtured in the ornamented performance by solo singers of selected voice parts from polyphonic compositions in the 1580s and 1590s.
