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.

Who was the famous medieval composer who wrote the first complete musical setting of the Roman Catholic Church?
There were no distinguished composers for the first musical pieces to be sung in medieval cathedrals. However, they (as well as any other music before it that we know of) were not documented until Pope Gregory charged his monks with devising a way to write lyrics and sheet music for the songs to preserve them. They are now known as either "Gregorian Chant" or "Plainsong", and are still preformed in European cathedrals today.

What is a description of Gregorian Chant and its use in Medieval Mass?
Gregorian chant originated in monastic liturgy (services) and was formalised in the period 10th to 13th centuries. Its concept was essentially single notes without harmonies, all the voices singing exactly the same thing at the same time. It was learned entirely by ear, although written notation then seved as reminder of the rise and fall of the tune (without ever defining actual notes). Gregorian chant remained at the heart of monastic liturgy, although many alterations and developments took place over time. It also forms the basis for all musical notation and musical development in Europe ever since, so its influence is of major importance. Gregorian chant is still sung in various cathedrals and monasteries today, continuing a tradition of over 1,100 years. An example is the work of the lay clerks of Canterbury Cathedral, who have recorded chant to celebrate the Feast of St Thomas Becket.
