People of the Middle Ages used music for the same purposes we do today. The music they used it in Church is best documented, but that is only because the Church made written records to a greater extent than other people. But they also used it for entertainment. They sang ballads, love songs, and songs that were just plain silly. They sang together, and they made music to dance to. They put music in their theatrical performances, and we have records of musical plays that include both words and score, so they could be performed today.
