The madrigal.
Secular music genres such as madrigals and chansons were popular during the Renaissance period. Madrigals were particularly favored for their expressive and emotional content, evolving into a sophisticated form of vocal music characterized by intricate harmonies and texts inspired by poetry.
In the Medieval times the motet was a secular polyphonic vocal genre. Later on in the Renaissance time it became a sacred or devotional polyphonic vocal genre.
Two secular writers of the Renaissance were Niccolò Machiavelli, known for his political treatise "The Prince," and Michel de Montaigne, known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre with his work "Essays."
