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.
