Leandro Gallerano (late 16th century - c.1631), an obscure Italian musician from Brescia who spent the end of his career in Padua, near Venice, published his Messa e Salmi concertati a tre, cinque, et otto voci in 1629. The collection, comprising a Mass and two complete sets of Vespers psalms and canticles for the Common of a male saint, features music conceived in the grand concertate (concerted) style favored in northern Italy during the early Seicento (seventeenth century).
