Medieval

Medieval music is a broad term used to describe the music of the European Middle Ages, which dates from the 5th to the 15th centuries. This era saw the development of a wide variety of musical styles, many of which are still used today. During this period, music was mostly vocal, with instrumental accompaniment playing a secondary role. Common forms of music included Gregorian chant, troubadour songs, motets, and polyphonic forms. Other popular instruments included the lute, harp, bagpipes, and hurdy-gurdy. Music was closely linked to religion, with most of the surviving music being liturgical in nature.
