MOTET Online Database
"The purpose for creating the database catalogue is to gain control of the motet repertory and its sources for the purpose of determining generalizations about the genre as a whole and of facilitating all aspects of motet research. The database will allow scholars the flexibility to investigate the motet and its many contexts from multiple vantage points simultaneously by enabling sorting on various fields separately and in combination."
