Motet
In classical music, a motet is a highly varied choral musical composition. The motet was one of the pre-eminent polyphonic forms of Renaissance music.
According to Margaret Bent, "a piece of music in several parts with words" is as precise a definition of the motet as will serve from the 13th to the late 16th century and beyond.〔Margaret Bent, "(The Late-Medieval Motet )" in ''Companion to Medieval & Renaissance Music'', edited by Tess Knighton and David Fallows, 114–19 (Berkeley, California: University of California Press, 1992): 114. ISBN 9780520210813.〕 The late 13th-century theorist Johannes de Grocheo believed that the motet was "not to be celebrated in the presence of common people, because they do not notice its subtlety, nor are they delighted in hearing it, but in the presence of the educated and of those who are seeking out subtleties in the arts."〔Johannes de Grocheio, ''Ars Musice'', edited and translated by Constant J. Mews, John N. Crossley, Catherine Jeffreys, Leigh McKinnon, and Carol J. Williams; TEAMS Varia (Kalamazoo, MI: Medieval Institute Publications, 2011): 85 (19.2 ).

==Etymology==
In the early 20th century, it was generally believed the name came from the Latin ''movere'', ("to move"), though a derivation from the French ''mot'' ("word", or "phrase"), had also been suggested. The Medieval Latin for "motet" is ''motectum'', and the Italian ''mottetto'' was also used. If the word is from Latin, the name describes the movement of the different voices against one another. Today, however, the French etymology is favoured by reference books, as the word "motet" in 13th-century French had the sense of "little word".〔 entry "Motet".〕〔Willi Apel, “Motet”, ''Harvard Dictionary of Music'', second edition (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1969).
