According to The New Penguin Dictionary of Music, Adrian Willaert was a Flemish composer who worked chiefly in Venice as a church musician, achieving high influence and dying there. Was one of the first to compose madrigals, to write independent pieces (of the type of ricercar, etc.), and to employ double choirs antiphonally. Composed Masses, motets, a Magnificat, and various vocal pieces to secular words.
