This paper
examines how the contrast and overlap of sacred and
secular music spans their entire history and how, although
their developments, accomplishments, and features are for the most part dissimilar, there are elements in both types of music that give sacred and
secular music some common ground. It
examines the differences and similarities of both forms of music by looking at two pieces of music: Franco of Cologne's "Psallt Chorus" and Adam de la Halle's "He, Diex! Quant Verrai ".
