Pity this starts off with the story about St. Marks in Venic, which may be apocryphal. See "Bryant, D. (1981) *“The „Cori Spezzati‟ of St. Mark‟s: Myth and Reality” *in Early Music History, Cambridge 1981" where he says that " ..in St Marks, at least, the eight-voice salmi spetzzati of Wollaert and Croce were not, as has been believed hitherto, performed antiphonally, but rather, responsorially with four of the singers in one of the groups and all the rest ... in the other (Bryant, 1981:169)", contending that it is a misleading statement given by Zarlino in his Venice 1558 book Le institutioni harmoniche that gave rise to the supposition that in St. Mark‟s the choirs were housed in the organ lofts on either side of the choir (ie spatially separated). In fact; " Neither this assumption ... nor the comments on which it is based are borne out by the contemporary documents of St. Mark‟s. There are in fact four separate statements to the contrary" (Bryant, 1981:175)
