Roman Catholic Answer

Monks and nuns traditionally have sung everything. The Mass (the Holy Eucharist) would be one and the Office would be another. The Office started in the middle of the night with Matins. Just before dawn was Lauds, then at dawn, Prime. The Little Offices are in the middle of the day: Terce at 9 am, Sext at noon, and None at 3 pm. Vespers is sung before supper, and then Compline right before bed.
