I have my own personal theory about that.
I think that most of the music we refer to as Renaissance and Medieval music is just the 'noble' kind of music. The kind of music that the church and nobles liked to listen to.

I would bet that the music the commons played was much more graphic and descriptive of their horrible ways of living.
