Ghirlanda sacra

Ghirlanda sacra scielta da diversi eccellentissimi compositori de varii motetti à voce sola (Venice, 1625) is a compilation of 44 single-voice motets in the new style assembled by Leonardo Simonetti. Simonetti was a chorister in the Cappella Marciana, and placed his master Claudio Monteverdi at the head of the collection with four pieces, following it with other composers from the area of Venice and Veneto. A second printing followed in 1636.
