Most music written during that time was religious. But for your question, yes and no. For medieval Europe and the church, traditionalist didn't like how it felt as though the nature of prayers were being lost to the music while others found it a nice change of pace. Ultimately it was banned from being played in churches.
I doubt the developers of the game thought that deeply about using polyphony. I bet it's more likely they did it because of the way it'd make someone feel.
