Cori Spezzati were suggested by the opposing choir lofts of Saint Mark’s Basilica. For the spacious architecture of this basilica, it was necessary to develop a musical style which exploited the sound-delay to advantage, rather than fought against it: thus the Venetian polychoral style, was developed
