Motet, Gregorian Chant, and Hymns were all used in Renaissance church services.
The main types of northern Renaissance music used for church services were the Mass and the motet. The Mass typically featured polyphonic settings of the Ordinary texts (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei), while the motet was a polyphonic choral composition often based on a sacred text. Both forms were intricately crafted and showcased the composers' skill in writing elaborate vocal harmonies.
Secular music was played outside of church services.
