What is Notre Dame organum, and how can it help you?
You may also wonder, "What is Notre Dame polyphony?"
The Notre-Dame School or Notre-Dame School of Polyphony refers specifically to the group composed at or near Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral from around 1160 to 1250. They also produced the music. Only two composers have their names left from this period: LA(c),onin and PA (c)rotin.
How did organum also develop? Organum was initially improvised by one singer singing a melody (the vocal vox principalis) and another singer playing the harmony (the vocal vox organalis), in fifth and fourth intervals. This form was called heterophonic because only one melody or voice was used in the song.
