How did the Roman Catholic Church influence music in the Middle Ages?
The Roman Catholic Church used the Gregorian Chant as their official music during the Middle Ages. Chanting was monotonous and performed by monks but eventually developed a more melodic sound. Masses were sung. The Church did not use musical instruments to accompany the singing because that was associated with Pagan rites. Secular music was extremely popular at that time as was dancing. Both were enjoyed at gatherings. Secular music employed flutes, horns, drums and stringed instruments. Church music and secular music were very different and the Church didn't have much of an influence on secular music during the Middle Ages.
How did public entertainment flow out of religious tradition in the Middle Ages?
The morality play is an example of entertainment rising from a religious source. In time the plays became increasingly secular. In music, the popular music seems to have been religious in the early part of the Middle Ages. Like the stage, it became more secular with the passing of time.
What was the overall significance of the shift from the sacred to the secular during the middle ages?
There wasn't a shift. The Catholic church ran the society and the art/music was all religious.
Was secular music based on gregorian chant?
Very much so. Gregorian chants later in the Middle Ages started to become composed by artists who would write pieces for the church and pieces for secular crowds as well. So basically it was the artists that transitioned causing attention to the secular style of their pieces.
Can you give an example of secular music from the middle ages?

Types of music in the Middle Ages?
Music from the Middle Ages, like almost all musical eras, consists of both secular and sacred music. Although we can only account for the music that was written and preserved which means that the majority of music that is known from the middle ages is sacred music that was found within the churches. Most of the music from the early middle ages is some type of a chant with no instrumental accompaniments and all voices in unison. It wasn't until the later middle ages in which musicians started to experiment more that the voices started to become harmonized. Most of the music during this time also was considered melismatic, meaning there were many different pitches and rhythms in only one syllable of text.
What was secular in the middle ages?
Secular aspects in the Middle Ages referred to matters that were not related to the church or religion. This included government affairs, legal systems, and economic activities that were governed by secular authorities rather than ecclesiastical ones. In essence, secularism denoted the separation between church and state during this time period.
Secular music in the fourteenth century?
Very little music from the Medieval era is present today. And even less so in the secular variety. The Medieval era was primarily religious, mostly stapled by Gregorian Chant, motets and organa. The little secular music came mostly from french musicians - northern wandering Trouveres and the southern Troubadours. Today, you would be VERY hard pressed to find any Medieval secular music in popular music today. Very little existed back then. And even fewer exist now.
Was there music or sound effects used in late middle ages during medieval theatre?
Music was used in theater of the Late Middle Ages, and of the High Middle Ages also. There are, in fact, plays that were entirely set to music. The earliest example we have, dating to 1151, long before the Late Middle Ages began, is Ordo Virtutum, by Hildegard of Bingen. Of secular musical plays, the earliest we have is the Jeu de Robin et Marion, which was written by Adam de la Halle, some time before 1288. Music was used commonly after these dates, and possibly before, though we have no examples.It is hard to imagine they did not use sound effects, but I have not seen discussion of them.
