“Od czasu Monteverdiego muzyka sakralna nie była już nigdy tym samym co przedtem, czyli spekulatywnym ukazaniem porządku i harmonii sfer, odczytywanej za pomocą rozumu ludzkiego w stworzeniu i w duszy ludzkiej. Muzyka sakralna stała się odtąd próbą odmalowania tajemnic wiary za pomocą świeckich muzycznych środków wyrazu.”

“Geniusz Monteverdiego wyeksploatował, zda się, wszystkie ekspresyjno-dramaturgiczne możliwości madrygału jako odrębnej formy; a równocześnie maksymalnie tę formę otworzył i wytyczył kierunki rozwoju dla wywodzących się z madrygału nowych form i gatunków muzyki. […] Na Monteverdim tedy dzieje formy madrygału właściwie się kończą.”
