Quick answer
Updated
Medieval music is European music from roughly 500 to 1400 AD — Gregorian chant, troubadour and minstrel songs, and dance music played on instruments like the lute, hurdy-gurdy, recorder, fiddle (vielle), psaltery, harp and frame drum. Today "medieval music" usually also means fantasy-style tavern and castle music for games and D&D. In Kenerate's Music Studio, describe the scene (tavern, bard's tale, castle hall), the instruments and the mood, and get an original track in about a minute — instrumental or sung. (It's medieval-*inspired*, not historical recordings.) New accounts get 25 free credits.

Tips
More authentic medieval sound
From making the demos above.
- Avoid 'orchestra' unless you want epic fantasy — it modernises the sound.
- Hurdy-gurdy and frame drum instantly say 'tavern'.
- Drones (a held low note) make it feel older.
- For D&D sessions, make loopable ambient tracks per location.
- Bard songs work best with a funny or heroic story.

- Recorder and tin whistle — bright melodies.
- Vielle (medieval fiddle) — bowed strings.
- Harp and psaltery — gentle plucked textures.
- Frame drum and tabor — simple dance rhythms.
For games and tabletop
Game-masters and indie developers often need a track per location. Generate a tavern loop, a market loop, a castle ambience and a battle theme, all in the same instrument palette, so the world sounds consistent.
