A madrigal is a secular vocal music composition originating in Italy during the Renaissance period, typically sung without accompaniment. On the other hand, a motet is a sacred vocal music composition with multiple vocal parts, often sung in Latin and commonly associated with the Medieval and Renaissance eras. The main distinction lies in their religious or secular contexts.
