Principal styles of the Middle Ages as reflections of the life-style of Church or court were plainchant, secular songs and dances, especially the music of the troubadours, Notre Dame organum and ars nova motets.
Plainchant, or chant, is the music of the medieval Christian church. ...
Medieval secular music consisted at first of songs, performed by various groups of musicians, from the vagabond goliards and jongleurs to the aristocratic troubadours and trouveres of sourthern and northern France, who composed their own songs, mainly about love. Secular song composers wrote songs that do not include any references to the liturgy or church music in general. Secular song is the same music, different text and the opposite of plainchant.Secular music of the time was monophonic, syllabic with short melismas, and unaccompanied with instruments used only for intros, postludes, and occasionally heterophony. ... Secular music of the medieval period was the domain of minstrels, minnesingers, troubadours and trouvères.
