A motet is a polyphonic religious vocal work with lyrics such as biblical psalms, developing in Europe since the Middle Ages. As a musical term it denotes both a genre and a compositional style. The motet is said to originate in secular polyphonic songs developed from the 13th century onward. Early motets had two voices above a chant-based cantus firmus, sung with different texts. From the Renaissance onward, they increasingly took on the character of polyphonic sacred vocal works not based on the Ordinary of the Mass and were performed in worship.
