Along with the other Medici composers, taking part in a trend of the time, he wrote gigantic polychoral compositions. One of the largest polychoral works ever composed, at least prior to modern times, was his huge 50-voice motet "Consolamini popule meus". The date of the composition is unknown, but the manuscript is at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, suggesting he wrote it while in the service of the Bavarian court. Only a handful of larger compositions are known: Alessandro Striggio's colossal 40 and 60 voice "Missa sopra Ecco sì beato giorno", and the 17th century 53-voice "Missa Salisburgensis" attributed to Heinrich Ignaz Biber.
