The components of music in the medieval period (roughly 500-1400 AD) primarily include melody, rhythm, and harmony, though harmony was less developed than in later periods. Gregorian chant, a form of plainchant, was prevalent, characterized by monophonic texture and modal scales. Secular music began to flourish towards the end of this era, with the emergence of instruments and the use of polyphony, where multiple independent melodies were sung or played simultaneously. Notable forms of medieval music also included motets and the early development of notation, which allowed for the preservation and dissemination of musical works.
