| The earliest genre of medieval polyphony; a chant with at least one voice added to enhance the harmony. In its earliest stages, organum involved two musical voices that moved in parallel motion on a consonant interval (usually a Perfect 5th or 4th) and began and ended on a unison (the same note). Organum was originally improvised; while one singer performed from music another singer would improvise. Over time, composers began to write added parts. |
