Instrumental music in the liturgy.  Gabrieli and the canzone, on the way to the sonata da chiesa.  What is the sonata da chiesa; when does it begin?  What is Gabrieli’s canzona/sonata and how does is relate to the sonata da chiesa?  When does written instrumental music become part of the church service?
