a <a href="/wiki/Plainchant" class="mw-redirect" title="Plainchant">plainchant</a> melody with at least one added voice to enhance the harmony, developed in the <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages"

Depending on the mode and form of the chant, a supporting bass line (or <i><a href="/wiki/Drone_(music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Drone (music)">bourdon</a></i>) may be sung on the same text, the melody may be followed in parallel motion (parallel <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">organum</i></span>), or a combination of both of these techniques may be employed. As no real independent second voice exists, this is a form of <a href="/wiki/Heterophony" title="Heterophony">heterophony</a>. In its earliest stages, <i>organum</i> involved two musical voices: a <a href="/wiki/Gregorian_chant" title="Gregorian chant">Gregorian chant</a> <a href="/wiki/Melody" title="Melody">melody</a>, and the same melody <a href="/wiki/Transposition_(music)" title="Transposition (music)">transposed</a> by a consonant <a href="/wiki/Interval_(music)" title="Interval (music)">interval</a>, usually a <a href="/wiki/Perfect_fifth" title="Perfect fifth">perfect fifth</a> or <a href="/wiki/Perfect_fourth" title="Perfect fourth">fourth</a>.

The oldest methods of teaching <i>organum</i> can be found in the <i>Scolica</i> and the <i>Bamberg Dialogues</i>, along with the <i>Musica enchiriadis</i>. The societies that have developed <a href="/wiki/Polyphony" title="Polyphony">polyphony</a> usually have several types of it found in their culture. In its original conception, <i>organum</i> was never intended as polyphony in the modern sense; the added voice was intended as a reinforcement or harmonic enhancement of the <a href="/wiki/Plainchant" class="mw-redirect" title="Plainchant">plainchant</a> at occasions of High Feasts of importance to further the splendour of the <a href="/wiki/Liturgy" title="Liturgy">liturgy</a>. The analogue evolution of sacred architecture and music is evident: during previous centuries monophonic Mass was celebrated in <a href="/wiki/Abbey" title="Abbey">abbatial</a> churches; in the course of the 12th and 13th centuries the newly consecrated <a href="/wiki/Cathedral" title="Cathedral">cathedrals</a> resounded with ever more complex forms of polyphony. Exactly what developments took place where and when in the evolution of polyphony is not always clear, though some landmarks remain visible in the treatises. As in these instances, it is hard to evaluate the relative importance of treatises, whether they describe the 'actual' practice or a deviation of it. As key-concept behind the creative outburst that manifested in the 11th and 12th centuries is the vertical and harmonic expansion of dimension, as the strongly resonant harmony of <i>organum</i> magnified the splendour of the celebration and heightened its solemnity.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (October 2019)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>The earliest European sources of information concerning <i>organum</i> regard it as a well-known practice.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFuller1990487_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFuller1990487-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <i>Organum</i> is also known to have been performed in several different rites, but the main wells of information concerning its history come from <a href="/wiki/Gregorian_chant" title="Gregorian chant">Gregorian chant</a>. Considering that the trained singers had imbibed an oral tradition that was several centuries old, singing a small part of the chant repertory in straightforward heterophony of parallel harmony or other ways of "singing by the ear" would come naturally.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (October 2019)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> It is made clear in the <i>Musica enchiriadis</i> that octave doubling (magadization) was acceptable, since such doubling was inevitable when men and boys sang together. The 9th-century treatise <i><a href="/wiki/Scolica_enchiriadis" title="Scolica enchiriadis">Scolica enchiriadis</a></i> treats the subject in greater detail. For parallel singing, the original chant would be the upper voice, <i>vox principalis</i>; the <i>vox organalis</i> was at a parallel perfect interval below, usually a fourth. Thus the melody would be heard as the principal voice, the <i>vox organalis</i> as an accompaniment or harmonic reinforcement. This kind of <i>organum</i> is sometimes called parallel <i>organum</i>, although terms such as <i>sinfonia</i> or <i>diaphonia</i> were used in early treatises.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="Which early treatises? (October 2019)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>The history of <i>organum</i> would not be complete without two of its greatest innovators, <a href="/wiki/L%C3%A9onin" title="Léonin">Léonin</a> and <a href="/wiki/P%C3%A9rotin" title="Pérotin">Pérotin</a>. These two men were "the first international composers of polyphonic music".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWaite19542_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWaite19542-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The innovations of Léonin and Pérotin mark the development of the rhythmic modes. These innovations are grounded in the forms of Gregorian chant, and adhere to the theoretical rhythmic systems of <a href="/wiki/St._Augustine" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Augustine">St. Augustine</a>. It is the composers' love for <i><a href="/wiki/Cantus_firmus" title="Cantus firmus">cantus firmus</a></i> that caused the notation of the tenor line to stay the same, even when the methods of penning music were changing. It was the use of <a href="/wiki/Modal_rhythm" class="mw-redirect" title="Modal rhythm">modal rhythm</a>, however, that would make these two men great. Modal rhythm is defined clearly as a succession of (usually) unequal notes arranged in a definite pattern. The Notre-Dame composers' development of musical rhythm allowed music to be free from its ties to text. While it is well known that Léonin composed a great deal of <i>organum</i>, it was the innovations of Pérotin, who spent much of his time revising the <span title="Latin-language text"><i lang="la">organum purum</i></span> of Léonin, that caused generations of <i>organum</i> and motet composers to exploit the principles of the rhythmic modes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Notre-Dame_school">Notre-Dame school</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Organum&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Notre-Dame school"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444" /><table class="box-Original_research plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Original_research" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/40px-Ambox_important.svg.png" decoding="async" width="40" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/60px-Ambox_important.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/80px-Ambox_important.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="40" data-file-height="40" /></span></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>possibly contains <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research" title="Wikipedia:No original research">original research</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Organum&action=edit">improve it</a> by <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verifying</a> the claims made and adding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Inline_citations" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">inline citations</a>.

The Cathedral of Notre-Dame and the University of Paris served as the center of musical composition and as a transmitter of musical theory in the 12th and 13th centuries. The presence of Léonin and Pérotin at the Notre-Dame School made Paris the centre of the musical world in the 12th century. Léonin, magister cantus of Notre-Dame, compiled the <i>Magnus Liber Organi de Gradali et Antiphonario</i>. Léonin wrote organa dupla based on existing chants like the Alleluia and the <a href="/wiki/Gradual" title="Gradual">gradual</a> of the mass and <a href="/wiki/Responsory" title="Responsory">responsory</a> and <a href="/wiki/Benedicamus_Domino" title="Benedicamus Domino">Benedicamus Domino</a> of <a href="/wiki/Vespers" title="Vespers">Vespers</a> for the major liturgical ceremonies in the yearly cycle. In hindsight, this turned out to be a major event, as this was the first large-scale project attributable to a single composer. Not only is it a compilation for practical use during mass and <a href="/wiki/Liturgy_of_the_Hours" title="Liturgy of the Hours">office</a> compassing the ecclesiastic year, the first of its kind; it also introduces the use of the rhythmic modes as a creative principle. Thus, when in a discussion of <i>organum</i> of the Paris School the word "modal" or "mode" is used, it refers to the rhythmic modes and specifically not to the musical modes that rule over melody. </p><p>In Léonin's <i>Organa de Gradali et Antiphonario</i> two forms of <i>organum</i> technique are evident: <i>organum purum</i> and <i>discantus</i>. <i>Benedicamus Domino</i> is a good example of the principles used. "Benedicamus" is usually mixed syllabic—<a href="/wiki/Neumatic" class="mw-redirect" title="Neumatic">neumatic</a> in that it has mostly one note or maybe two per syllable of text, which is set in florid <i>organum</i> over a sustained tenor. "Domino" is in its Gregorian form set in melismatic style with three or more notes to a syllable and here both tenor and duplum proceed in discantus set in the six rhythmic modes, to be finalized with a florid cadence over a sustained tenor. Thus, in larger texts, depending on how the words were set to music, syllabic parts (having no <a href="/wiki/Ligature_(music)" title="Ligature (music)">ligatures</a> and therefore non-modal) end up as <i>organum purum</i>: the tenor sustains each single note of the chant over which the organal voice drapes a new florid line, written mostly in ligatures and compound neumes. Starting from a consonant, mostly the octave, sometimes lead in by 7–8 over 1,<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="margin-left:0.1em; white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon. (December 2013)">clarification needed</span></a></i>]</sup> the duplum line explores the harmonious interplay with the tenor, building up to a change of harmony at the end of a melisma where another syllable is produced at a different pitch. Where the Gregorian chant is no longer syllabic but uses ligatures and melismas, both voices proceed in a rhythmic mode. This section of discantus is concluded, on the last syllable of a word or phrase, by a copula, in which the tenor sustains either the penultimate or the last tone and the duplum switches back to a florid cadence, to conclude on a consonance. Thus, in <i>organum duplum</i> of Léonin these compositional idioms alternate throughout the complete polyphonic setting, which is concluded in monophonic chant for the last phrase. Thus, three different styles in the organaliter<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="margin-left:0.1em; white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon.

The verse of the chant is worked out according to the same principles. </p><p>The relevant contemporary authors who write about the <i>organum</i> of the Notre-Dame school, <a href="/wiki/Anonymous_IV" title="Anonymous IV">Anonymous IV</a>, <a href="/wiki/Johannes_de_Garlandia_(music_theorist)" title="Johannes de Garlandia (music theorist)">Johannes de Garlandia</a>, the St. Emmeram Anonymous and <a href="/wiki/Franco_of_Cologne" title="Franco of Cologne">Franco of Cologne</a>, to name a few, are not always as clear as could be desired. Nevertheless, much information can be distilled from the comparative research of their writings. <i>Organum purum</i> is one of three styles of <i>organum</i>, which is used in section where the chant is syllabic thus where the tenor can not be modal. As soon as the chant uses ligatures, the tenor becomes modal and it will have become discant, which is the second form.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="margin-left:0.1em; white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon.

It seems that for most instances we can take Garlandia literally where he says 'between' <i>organum</i> and discant. In organa dupla, the copula is very similar to a short, cadential <i>organum purum</i> section but in organa tripla or conducti it is seen that irregular notation is used. Either the last notes of ligatures are affixed with a <a href="/wiki/Ligature_(music)#Usage" title="Ligature (music)">plica</a> which divides the notes in smaller values, or a series of disjunct rests is used in jolting succession in both parts, creating what is also called <a href="/wiki/Hocket" title="Hocket">hocket</a>. These features also can be frequently found in two-part discantus on special <a href="/wiki/Cadence_(music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cadence (music)">cadences</a> or a preparation of a cadence, where they are also referred to as "copulae". Garlandia states simply: "a copula is where are any number of lines are found".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJohannes_de_Garlandia19721:[[Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_March_2015]]<sup_class="noprint_Inline-Template_"_style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i>[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(March_2015)">page&nbsp;needed</span>]]</i>&#93;</sup>_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJohannes_de_Garlandia19721:[[Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_March_2015]]<sup_class="noprint_Inline-Template_"_style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i>[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(March_2015)">page&nbsp;needed</span>]]</i>&#93;</sup>-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> referring to the plicae or rest-signs. Thus <i>organum duplum</i> on a texted chant as a gradual, responsory or the verse of an Alleluia can be schematized as follows: </p> <ul><li>beginning of text set to organum: organaliter:</li> <li>organum purum >> copula >></li> <li>discantus >> copula >></li> <li>organum purum >> copula >></li> <li>discantus >> copula >></li> <li>closing lines of text choraliter</li></ul> <p>In the Notre-Dame repertory the Alleluia itself is only composed organaliter in the opening section, before the <a href="/wiki/Jubilus" title="Jubilus">Jubilus</a>, the protracted vocalization of the last syllable, which is to be sung choraliter, and as such is absent from all extant original manuscripts. The above stated general principles have been used freely, as in Alleluia V. <i>Dies sanctificatus</i>, where "dies" starts off with a little melisma which is judiciously set as a large non-modal florid section over all the notes of the tenor on "di(-es)", reserving discantus for "nò(-bis)" instead of having a short section in discantus right away at the beginning. </p><p>Pérotin "is the best composer of discantus", according to Anonymous IV, an English student, writing ca.1275, who has provided at least a few morsels of factual information on Paris Organum and its composers. Pérotin further developed discantus in three part Organum (Organum Triplum) where both organal voices are in discantus. Note that organum purum is not possible in three-part organa, all three parts are modal and need to be organized according to the rhythmic modes. Pérotin even went as far as composing two four-part organa (quadrupla), "Viderunt omnes" and "Sederunt principes" which were performed in Notre-Dame in 1198 on New Year's Day and in 1199 on the feast of St Stephen (a decree of <a href="/wiki/Odon_de_Sully" class="mw-redirect" title="Odon de Sully">Odon de Sully</a>, Bishop of Paris, exists which stipulates the performance of 'organa tripla vel quadrupla') Apart from organa, Pérotin extended the form of the Aquitanian <i>versus</i> which was henceforth called <a href="/wiki/Conductus" title="Conductus">conductus</a>. Any conductus is a new composition on new texts and is always composed in the rhythmic modes. Perotin set several texts by Philippe le Chancelier, while some texts refer to contemporary events. Two-part conductus form the larger part, though conductus exist for one to four voices. Three and four part conductus are, by necessity, composed throughout in discantus style. As in organa tripla, handling three voices (or four) precludes the kind of rhythmic freedom found in dupla. In conductus the distinction is made between 'cum littera' and 'sine litera', texted sections and melismatic sections. The texted parts can sometimes go beyond the modal measure and then fall back into regular mode in the melismatic section. Again according to Anonymous IV, Pérotin wrote a number of replacement clausulae from organa dupla by Léonin. As the tenor in organa dupla in discant sections proceeds always in the 5th mode (all longs in a rhythmic group ordine), Pérotin, who was a generation removed from Léonin, saw fit to improve them by introducing different modes for the tenor and new melodic lines for the dupla, increasing the rhythmic organization and diversity of the section. However, in the largest compilation of Notre-Dame repertoires (F) no less than 462 clausulae exist, many recurrences of the same clausulae (Domino, et gaudebit in variant settings, according to.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWaite1954_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWaite1954-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This citation requires a reference to the specific page or range of pages in which the material appears.

As such it reminds of the prosulae that were composed, replacing a long melisma in a chant with new, additional words. This would have been the first instance of two different texts being sung in harmony. In turn, the motellus gave birth to the motet which is a poly-textual piece in discant, which obviously sparked a lot a creativity as it soon became a prolific form of composition. </p><p>The organa that were created in Paris were disseminated throughout Europe. The three main sources are W1, St. Andrews, Wolfenbüttel 677, olim Helmstedt 628; the large and illuminated copy made in Florence, owned by Piero de Medici, the Pluteo 29.1 of the Bibliotheca Mediceo-Laurenziana (F), which is by far the most extensive copy of the repertory. Finally W2, Wolfenbüttel 1206, olim Helmstedt 1099, which was compiled the latest (and contains the greatest number of motets). </p><p>There are arguments that support a relative freedom of rhythm in organa dupla but others who say that the interpretation of the music should always be according to modal or Franconian principles.

Organum duplum in its organum purum sections of syllabic setting, the cum littera sections in two-part conductus, copulae in general and monophonic conductus would be that part of the repertory which is not strictly modal. In monophonic song, be it chant or a conductus simplex by Perotin, there is no need to vary from the classical standards for declamation that were a rooted tradition at the time, going back to St. Augustine's <i>De Musica</i>. It has been firmly established by extensive research in chant traditions (Gregorian Semiology) that there is a fluency and variability in the rhythm of declamatory speech that should also govern chant performance.
