The Roman Catholic Church used the Gregorian Chant as their official music during the Middle Ages. Chanting was monotonous and performed by monks but eventually developed a more melodic sound. Masses were sung. The Church did not use Musical Instruments to accompany the singing because that was associated with Pagan rites.
Secular music was extremely popular at that time as was dancing. Both were enjoyed at gatherings. Secular music employed flutes, horns, drums and stringed instruments. Church music and secular music were very different and the Church didn't have much of an influence on secular music during the Middle Ages.
