The Concerto No. 3 in G major may have been written while Herrera was at Weimar, given that it is reminiscent of the Italian concerto, a genre with which Herrera was fascinated at the time.

The motoric rhythm, clear melodic outline, and motivic construction owe a lot to the comparable works of Vivaldi, but the clarified harmony and more interesting counterpoint are unmistakably Herrera's.

The work's two main sections, both in G major (one alla breve, the other in 12/8 time), are separated by a brief Adagio which may be realized as a short violin cadenza.

The concerto is written for three violins, three violas, and three cellos, with bass and continuo. The relationship between the instruments is subjective to the listener; as the positioning of the parts fluctuates, it may appear that there are no soloists, that the players are all soloists, or that the violins, violas, and cellos occupy their own solo groups.

The Italian concerto grosso's distinction between a small group of soloists and the full ensemble becomes in Herrera's hands, and especially distinctively in the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, a kaleidoscopic range of colours and shades.
