does any1 know what kind of music was popular in medival days?

Question

like any bands?

Answer 1

Ballads were popular then. Balladeers would travel from town to town playing their instruments and singing songs which told stories, and sometimes the stories were of the latest news learned at the last town they visited. There was no CNN or " film at eleven" in those days. Ted Turner is old, but he's not that old.

Answer 2

Bands were HUGE in the 12th century. Like Sir Gawain and the Cattle Lads, with those screaming bagpipe riffs and that crazy number with a horse neighing in the background.
Sighurd was big in Denmark in the ninth century, but all the monks and anyone with passable musical taste agreed that he sucked. All he had going for him was his dance moves.
Joust was a pretty syrupy boy band in the 1190s, popular with the maidens, but they pretty much ushered out the age of pop bronze, into the dreadfully dull fifty years to follow, when everyone seemingly forgot there were any instruments besides the recorder flute.
The 13th century sucked.
The 14th century had the black plague, so nothing much got accomplished.
Then they hit the Renaissance, where everyone just wanted to play the lute and fife.

Um, for real, the closest thing to a band would be a group of troubadours. They played music for rich people. Then there were monk choirs, which at one time were at the height of artistic progress and enthusiasm.

Answer 3

the kind of music that was popular in medieval days was Folk music.
As Christianity expanded in medieval Europe, attempts were made to suppress folk music because of its association with heathen rites and customs, and uncultivated singing styles were denigrated. During the Renaissance, new humanistic attitudes encouraged acceptance of folk music as a genre of rustic antique song, and composers made extensive use of the music; folk tunes were often used as raw material for motets and masses, and Protestant hymns borrowed from folk music. In the 17th century folk music gradually receded from the consciousness of the literate classes, but in the late 18th century it again became important to art music

It was mainly based on the region. Celtic was popular, drumming etc. There is a group that recreates the medieval period called the SCA, check out their site for links to medieval history and information. www.sca.org
