What time of day is Prime in the medieval church?

What time did nuns have to get up?
Medieval nuns, like monks, followed the strict Liturgy or sequence of services. These were based on the Bible's assertion that a man ought to pray seven times a day, plus once in the night. This meant getting up for the night service and then returning to bed, getting up again for the first service of the day. It is important to realise that time was seen very differently before mechanical clocks were invented; there was no accurate way of telling time, so all of the daily services were held at approximately the following times (which could vary in different nunneries and monasteries and at different times of year): 2 am: Matins, often combined with Lauds 6 am: Prime 9 am: Terce 12 noon: Sext 3 pm: Nones 6 pm: Vespers 8 pm: Compline Nuns and monks went to bed in complete silence straight after Compline was finished. In between these Holy Offices were the daily Chapter meeting (around 7 am), the two daily Masses, meals, time spent reading or studying and time spent working at different tasks.
How many times did medieval monks go to church?
The Rule of St Benedict governed the daily routine of all monks in Europe throughout the medieval period. Chapter 16 states:". . .Ergo his temporibus referamus laudes Creatori nostro super iudicia iustitiæ suæ, id est Matutinis, Prima, Tertia, Sexta, Nona, Vespera, Conpletorios, et nocte surgamus ad confitendum ei"You can clearly see that the seven daytime Offices (services) are listed, then "and at night let us arise to glorify Him". This gives a total of 8 services, although the night Office and the morning Office (Matins and Lauds) were often held one after the other without a break.So the correct answer is 8, not 7.

Is there music in a monastery?
Monasteries have long been known for their music, especially chant.

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.
