Antiphony
Music exploiting directional and canonic opposition of widely spaced choirs or groups of instruments to create perspectives in sound. It was developed in 17th-century Venice by Giovanni Gabrieli and in Germany by his pupil Heinrich Schütz and Roland de Lassus; an example is the double-choir motet Alma Redemptoris Mater (1604). The practice was revived in the 20th century by Béla Bartók, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Luciano Berio.
