What does MOTET mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A short piece of unaccompanied choral music, usually sacred in text and sung as part of a church service.
A motet is written for voices alone, without instruments, and its several vocal lines typically weave around one another rather than moving together in simple harmony, a style that dates back to medieval church composers. Choirs still perform a motet during services or concerts today, and composers from the Renaissance onward left large bodies of such sacred choral work.
