Answer:

motet

Step-by-step explanation:

The motet is a non-liturgical composition that began in the Middle Ages, in the thirteenth century, and continued to be a source of compositions, and this piece is named after the French MOT which means WORD. This composition is one of the most important forms of polyphonic music that emerged around 1200.
