Musicians
Gulliame de Machuet
Machet is one of the undisputed geniuses of Western music and the most famous composer of Middle Ages.  Today his four-voice Mass of Notre Dame is a medieval text book for other composers.  His work is well preserved considering the time period through Illuminated Manuscripts.
Pope Gregory VII
Pope Gregory VII is credited with the Gregorian form of chanting.  Also this is not confirmed and disputed my many historioans.  The Gregorian Chant was the begining of secular music.
Minstels
Minstrels were the most important compsers of the time.  They wrote many of the famous ballads of the time.  They picked up and pasted on songs as they traveled through townss learning by ear.
