====Concerto as a genre of vocal music====
{{See also|Sacred concerto}}
In the 17th century, sacred works for voices and orchestra were typically called concertos, as reflected by [[J.&nbsp;S. Bach]]'s usage of the title "concerto" for many of the works that are now known as [[cantata]]s.{{sfn|Wolf|1986|p=[https://archive.org/details/newharvarddictio00rand/page/186 186]}}{{sfn|Tovey|1911|p=825}} The term "concerto" was initially used to denote works that involved voices and instruments in which the instruments had independent parts—as opposed to the Renaissance common practice in which instruments that accompanied voices only doubled the voice parts.{{sfn|Talbot|2005}} Examples of this earlier form of concerto include [[Giovanni Gabrieli]]'s "In Ecclesiis" or [[Heinrich Schütz]]'s "Saul, Saul, was verfolgst du mich".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Duffy |first=Martin |date=2014-06-09 |title=Australian Chamber Choir fills church with uplifting sacred music |url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/australian-chamber-choir-fills-church-with-uplifting-sacred-music-20140609-zs1if.html |access-date=2024-03-27 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}}</ref>
