Monasteries have long been known for their music, especially chant. In addition to singing chant at Mass, monks traditionally come together to chant the Divine Office (also known as the Liturgy of the Hours) throughout the day, including Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline. In the current form: Office of Readings (formerly Matins), Morning Prayer (Lauds), Terce, Sext, or None (only one of these three midday prayers is required, although all are encouraged), Evening Prayer (Vespers), and Night Prayer (Compline). In short, monasteries are often filled with music.
