Medieval Music Mateo

Medieval music spanned from the 5th to the 15th century and was deeply influenced by the social structure of feudalism and the religious context of Christianity and Islam. Music was divided into secular and religious categories, with secular music often performed by troubadours like Adam de la Halle, the noted inventor of the motet.
