Always break apart phrases into the words' separate meanings. This makes it easier to fully understand. Secular means, in general, things that are not religious or spiritual. Music is vocal /and/or instrumentals, or both, that provide entertainment or expression of emotion.So secular music is instrumental or lyrics that have nothing to do with religious ideas or views.Example:Though Elvis Presley was known mostly for his secular music of the rock n' roll genre, he loved singing spiritual gospel music.
Sacred, secular, and instrumental I know there was the 1. classical, mainly instrumental. 2. church music, hymns influenced by Martin Luther who believed that the congregation should take an active part in the church service, scripture through worship. 3. I think were the operas
Secular music is non-religious music. The word"Secular" basically means worldly. Another word for "Secular" is Mainstream. For example: Music that you'd hear at a church would be considered "Christian music" or "religious music." Music that you'd hear on modern rock radio is considered "secular" or "mainstream."
Remaining non affiliated to any religion, race or color in music is called secular in music.

Well, it's hard to describe music unless you can make it heard. But mostly, music was of two kinds: secular and sacred. Secular music could be instrumental, which consisted in popular tunes and dances that were played with lutes, flutes, old viols, pipes, and the like, sometimes with drums. Vocal secular music was usually songs about love, nature or drinking, sung with several voices and often accompanied with instruments. Sacred music was much more complex, and was vocal. It was a kind of music for the church, that was sung by many voices and is called "polyphony" because the voices sing different melodies which complement in a very complex harmony called "counterpoint". To know how music was, is better that you hear it. For composers around 1550, hear music by Morales, Gombert, Tallis, Guerrero, Susato, Cabezón, Rore or Clemens non Papa, as well as anonymous dances and songs from the times of Henry VIII or Emperor Charles V.
