Church music is a broad term that encompasses many different genres and styles. Two of the most common types of church music are motets and hymns. A motet is a polyphonic choral composition, usually based on a sacred Latin text. Hymns are more traditional songs of praise, often with a religious theme. Postlude is a piece of music that is played at the end of a church service. It is usually a more upbeat and celebratory piece than the other pieces of music performed during the service.
