In addition to the Italian madrigal, what other genre arose from the union of poetry and music during the Renaissance?

Answer: Motet.

Explanation:

Musical creation during the Renaissance focused on the nature of vocal parts among which Motet and Madrigal stand out. A fundamental feature of creative endeavour is the pursuit of the importance of the text.

The characteristic of Renaissance music was also the imitation of ancient Greek music with exciting elements. Motet can ultimately be defined as a form of secular and church music.
