What was the music that the medieval monks and nuns sang called?
Your question is phrased rather strangely - perhaps you mean "What accompaniment was there to monk's singing?". They obviously sang with their voices, but you must have some other thought in mind.The answer is there was no musical accompaniment; singing was called Plainsong or Gregorian Chant and was entirely a cappella, without any instruments. There was also no harmony, descant or bass; everyone sang exactly the same note at the same time (hence Plainsong).The only departure from this rule was that occasionally a piece would be started solo, then the choir would join in; the soloist might have additional parts later in the piece.The link below takes you to a Youtube version of Dies Irae sung exactly as it was in the 13th century:
When did Gregorian chants originate?
* Genre: Classical There are arguments concerning the proper use of the term "Gregorian" in reference to chants. Generally the term refers to any chants written in the church modes, often employing texts from the psalms or the gospels. They developed during the papacy of Gregory the Great (d.604) but generally refer to the Church music of the 11th through 13th centuries. There is a distinction between Roman and Gregorian chants that obfuscates the origin and characterizes true Gregorian chant (that which developed with Gregory I and Gregory II), and Roman chants. There certainly are distinctions that scholars have drawn; however, the distinctions most accurately refer to different styles than to two different types of chants. The Gregorian chant contained phrases that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye often in the form of arches. Musical strains were often related to the text in the context of the contours of the musical line and what the text is addressing. Clearly there was also a balance between melisma and syllabic writing without an over abundance of the former. Though there were exceptions to the eight Church modes, most Gregorian chants were written in that vein. http://www.answers.com/topic/gregorian-chant
