60-427: A (usually Latin-texted) cantus firmus usually adapted from a melismatic passage of Gregorian chant on a single word or phrase. It is also increasingly argued that the term "motet" could in fact include certain brief single-voice songs. The texts of upper voices include subjects as diverse as courtly love odes, pastoral encounters with shepherdesses, political attacks, and many Christian devotions, especially to

90-439: A cappella style, basso continuo , with instruments playing colla parte , several of them composed for funerals. The first five, for double chorus, are almost certainly composed by Bach and are written in a cappella style, though strings and oboes appear to have accompanied colla parte . Lobet dem Herrn is for SATB with basso continuo . The funeral cantata O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht , BWV 118 (1736–37?)

120-1127: A cappella and some, such as Edward Elgar 's three motets Op. 2, are accompanied by organ. In the 20th century, composers of motets have often consciously imitated earlier styles. In 1920, Ralph Vaughan Williams composed O clap your hands , a setting of verses from Psalm 47 for a four-part choir, organ, brass, and percussion, called a motet. Carl Nielsen set in Tre Motetter three verses from different psalms as motets, first performed in 1930. Francis Poulenc set several Latin texts as motets, first Quatre motets pour un temps de pénitence (1938). Maurice Duruflé composed Quatre Motets sur des thèmes grégoriens in 1960, and Notre Père in 1977. Other examples include works by Richard Strauss , Charles Villiers Stanford , Edmund Rubbra , Lennox Berkeley , Morten Lauridsen , Edward Elgar , Hugo Distler , F. Melius Christiansen , Ernst Krenek , Michael Finnissy , Karl Jenkins and Igor Stravinsky . Arvo Pärt has composed motets, including Da pacem Domine in 2006, as have Dave Soldier (Motet: Harmonies of

150-557: A longer sequence of organum . Clausulae represent brief sections of longer polyphonic settings of chant with a note-against-note texture. In some cases, these sections were composed independently and "substituted" for existing setting. These clausulae could then be "troped," or given new text in the upper part(s), creating motets. From these first motets arose a medieval tradition of secular motets. These were two- to four-part compositions in which different texts, sometimes in different vernacular languages, were sung simultaneously over

180-582: A music teacher at the seminary associated with St. Mark's. In 1601, he took over the job from Girolamo Dalla Casa as head of the instrumental ensemble. He served in this post until his death in August 1617. In addition to directing the music at St. Mark's, Bassano directed several groups of piffari , bands of wind players including bagpipes , recorders , shawms , flageolets , bassoons , and conceivably other instruments, which were used in other churches (such as San Rocco ) or street festivals. Bassano

210-656: A new recorder consort to King Henry VIII . Santo seems to have taken over his father-in-law's instrument-making business and adopted the surname of Bassano for himself. He was the probable inventor of bassanelli . Giovanni Bassano arrived as a young instrumental player at St. Mark's probably in 1576 at the age of 18. He quickly acquired a reputation as one of the finest instrumentalists in Venice. By 1585 he had published his first book, Ricercate, passagi et cadentie , which details how best to ornament passages when transcribing vocal music for instruments. In that same year he became

240-404: Is as precise a definition of the motet as will serve from the 13th to the late 16th century and beyond. 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

270-635: Is bathed in the sacred font, and the Christian is dedicated to Christ.") In France, Pierre Robert (24 grands motets), Henry Dumont (grands & petits motets), Marc-Antoine Charpentier (206 different types of motets), Michel-Richard de La Lande (70 grands motets), Henry Desmarest (20 grands motets), François Couperin (motets lost), Nicolas Bernier , André Campra , Charles-Hubert Gervais (42 grands motets), Louis-Nicolas Clérambault , François Giroust (70 grands motets) were also important composers. In Germany, too, pieces called motets were written in

300-545: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Giovanni Bassano Giovanni was likely born in Venice , Republic of Venice , around 1560 or 1561 in the parish of San Maurizio. He was the son of Santo Griti da Sebenico (now Šibenik , Croatia ) and Orsetta Bassano. Orsetta's father Jacomo Bassano was the only brother of the six sons of Jeronimo Bassano who did not move permanently to London from Venice around 1540 as part of

330-547: Is in the Montpellier Codex . Increasingly in the 14th and 15th centuries, motets made use of repetitive patterns often termed panisorhythmic ; that is, they employed repeated rhythmic patterns in all voices—not only the cantus firmus —which did not necessarily coincide with repeating melodic patterns. Philippe de Vitry was one of the earliest composers to use this technique, and his work evidently had an influence on that of Guillaume de Machaut , one of

360-469: Is ingeniously contrapuntal , as though he were indulging a side of his personality that he was unable to display in his more ceremonial, homophonic compositions. His fantasias and ricercars are densely imitative and contain retrograde and retrograde inversions of motivic ideas, a rarity in counterpoint before the 20th century. The similarity of Bassano's motets to the early work of Heinrich Schütz , who studied in Venice with Gabrieli, suggests that

390-523: Is regarded as a motet, though it has independent instrumental parts. The motet Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren , BWV 231 is an arrangement of a movement from Bach's Cantata 28, and the authenticity of the arrangement is not certain. For a few more motets, such as Ich lasse dich nicht , BWV Anh 159 , Bach's authorship is debated. Later 18th-century composers wrote few motets. Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach composed an extended chorale motet Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme , combining Baroque techniques with

420-871: The galant style . Mozart's Ave verum corpus (K. 618) is this genre. Rameau , Mondonville and Giroust also wrote grands motets. In the 19th century, some German composers continued to write motets. Felix Mendelssohn composed Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Welt , Denn er hat seinen Engeln befohlen and Mitten wir im Leben sind . Johannes Brahms composed three motets on biblical verses, Fest- und Gedenksprüche . Josef Rheinberger composed Abendlied . Anton Bruckner composed about 40 motets , mainly in Latin, including Locus iste . French composers of motets include Camille Saint-Saëns and César Franck . In English similar compositions are called anthems . Some later English composers, such as Charles Villiers Stanford , wrote motets in Latin . Most of these compositions are

450-666: The polychoral motet, in which two or more choirs of singers (or instruments) alternated. This style of motet was sometimes called the Venetian motet to distinguish it from the Netherlands or Flemish motet written elsewhere. " If Ye Love Me " by Thomas Tallis serves the demand of the Church of England for English texts, and a focus on understanding the words, beginning in homophony . In Baroque music , especially in France where

480-614: The French etymology is favoured by reference books, as the word "motet" in 13th-century French had the sense of "little word". The troped clausulas that were the forerunner of the motet were originally called motelli (from the French mot , "word"), soon replaced by the term moteti . The earliest motets arose in the 13th century from the organum tradition exemplified in the Notre-Dame school of Léonin and Pérotin . The motet probably arose from clausula sections in

510-466: The Renaissance tradition of semi-secular Latin motets in works such as Plaude Laetare Gallia , written to celebrate the baptism of King Louis XIV 's son; its text by Pierre Perrin begins: Plaude laetare Gallia Rore caelesti rigantur lilia, Sacro Delphinus fonte lavatur Et christianus Christo dicatur. ("Rejoice and sing, France: the lily is bathed with heavenly dew. The Dauphin

540-459: The Virgin Mary. In many cases, the texts of the upper voices are related to the themes of the chant passage they elaborate on, even in cases where the upper voices are secular in content. Most medieval motets are anonymous compositions and significantly re-use music and text. They are transmitted in a number of contexts, and were most popular in northern France. The largest surviving collection

570-528: The arts". In the early 20th century, it was generally believed motet 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,

600-472: The interplay of voices and the absence of an obvious beat distinguish medieval and renaissance motet styles. Motet frequently used the texts of antiphons and the Renaissance period marked the flowering of the form. The Renaissance motet is polyphonic , sometimes with an imitative counterpoint, for a chorus singing a Latin and usually sacred text. It is not connected to a specific liturgy , making it suitable for any service. Motets were sacred madrigals and

630-659: The language of the text was decisive: Latin for a motet and the vernacular for a madrigal. The relationship between the forms is clearest in composers of sacred music, such as Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina , whose "motets" setting texts from the Canticum Canticorum are among the most lush and madrigal-like, while his madrigals using Petrarch 's poems could be performed in a church. Religious compositions in vernacular languages were often called madrigali spirituali , "spiritual madrigals". These Renaissance motets developed in episodic format with separate phrases of

660-403: The medieval, isorhythmic style, Nuper rosarum flores , in 1436. During the second half of the fifteenth century Motets stretched the cantus firmus to greater lengths compared to the surrounding multi-voice counterpoint, adopting a technique of contemporary 'tenor masses'. This obscured the cantus firmus rhythm more than in medieval isorhythmic motets. Cascading, passing chords created by

690-401: The most famous named composers of late medieval motets. Other medieval motet composers include: The compositional character of the motet changed entirely during the transition from medieval to Renaissance music , as most composers abandoned the use of a repeated figure as a cantus firmus . Guillaume Dufay was a transitional figure in this regard, writing one of the last important motets in

720-643: The motet was very important, there were two distinct, and very different types of motet: petits motets , sacred choral or chamber compositions whose only accompaniment was a basso continuo ; and grands motets , which included massed choirs and instruments up to and including a full orchestra. Jean-Baptiste Lully , Michel Richard de Lalande , Marc-Antoine Charpentier were important composers of this sort of motet. Their motets often included parts for soloists as well as choirs; they were longer, including multiple movements in which different soloist, choral, or instrumental forces were employed. Lully's motets also continued

750-603: The new musical languages of the Baroque. Heinrich Schütz wrote many motets in series of publications, for example three books of Symphoniae sacrae , some in Latin and some in German. Hans Leo Hassler composed motets such as Dixit Maria , on which he also based a mass composition. Six motets attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach and catalogued BWV 225–230 are relatively long pieces combining German hymns with biblical texts, several of them composed for funerals. Mostly written in

810-424: The text given independent melodic treatment and contrapuntal development. Secular motets, known as "ceremonial motets", typically set a Latin text to praise a monarch, music or commemorate a triumph. The theme of courtly love , often found in the medieval secular motet, was banished from the Renaissance motet. Ceremonial motets are characterised by clear articulation of formal structure and by clear diction, because

840-411: The texts would be novel for the audience. Adrian Willaert , Ludwig Senfl , and Cipriano de Rore are prominent composers of ceremonial motets from the first half of the 16th century. The motet was one of the preeminent forms of Renaissance music . Important composers of Renaissance motets include: In the latter part of the 16th century, Giovanni Gabrieli and other composers developed a new style,

870-513: The two may have known each other. Likely Schütz knew Bassano's music and was influenced by it. Motet In Western classical music , a motet is mainly a vocal musical composition, of highly diverse form and style, from high medieval music to the present. The motet was one of the pre-eminent polyphonic forms of Renaissance music . According to the English musicologist Margaret Bent , "a piece of music in several parts with words"

900-538: Was also a composer, though his music has been overshadowed by his renown as a performer and his associated performance treatise. He wrote motets and concerti ecclesiastici (sacred concertos) in the Venetian polychoral style ; and he also wrote madrigals, canzonettas and some purely instrumental music. His canzonettas achieved some fame outside Italy: Thomas Morley knew them, printing them in London in 1597 in English translation. Some of Bassano's instrumental music
