Secular Song

Secular song in Medieval literature and music refers to non-religious songs that express themes like love, nature, and everyday life, rather than spiritual or religious subjects. These songs were often performed by troubadours and minstrels in courts and public spaces, reflecting the culture and values of the time. They used various poetic forms and melodies, allowing for a rich exploration of human emotions and experiences. Secular songs played a significant role in entertainment and social commentary, contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Medieval artistic expression.
