Strangely enough Willaert never mentions either his compositions or his daughter Catharine, who was a composer, too.
In 1549 fantasies for three voices, vocal or instrumental, by Willaert were printed.
He was a younger contemporary of Willaert's, but was born an Italian.
Willaert used original themes in his fantasies, and his style shows a gradual approach to the modern manner.
One of Willaert's motets, at any rate, tells the story of Susannah, and is plainly a forerunner of the oratorio.
