Musical form of totem (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'musical form' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'of totem' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'totem' is an anagram of 'MOTET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for motet that I've seen before include "Something to sing" , "Anthem or church cantata" , "Unaccompanied choral composition with sacred lyrics" , "Certain one is morally superior" , "Short sacred choral work" .)
