Resources on the Motet in ARMA
ARMA's resources on the motet are remarkably strong for those who explore this genre in their music history and music theory courses. With the examples in ARMA it is possible to trace the evolution of the genre from its earliest form to its maturity in a number of imporant works. In addition, the commentaries on several of these pieces offer explore significant features of signicant works. Further details are part of the articles on Genre and Form for the Medieval and Renaissance eras. As with other parts of ARMA, when your students encounter terminology specific to motets, they may find ARMA's Glossary to be a useful starting point.
