What are medieval singers called?

Answer 1

As a class, minstrels were most important. Early on, they were simply called bards. Later, they were called minstrels, troubadours, jongleurs, minnesingers, and by other names. They continued to be important through most of the period.

Musicians in Churches were of a different type. They included organists, choristers, and other musicians. While the Church was of central importance in the Middle Ages, and composers of sacred music were the most important theorists, they were not as generally important as bards.

There were a number of important individuals in music. Choosing the most important is pretty much a matter of taste.
