Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry, and I am thrilled that you’ve tuned into today’s episode! We are approaching the end of the medieval era, so before we dive into the renaissance era, I want to take the next three or so episodes to tie up all of the loose ends. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the origins of the motet—one of the most significant musical forms of the medieval and Renaissance periods.
