2 First Forms
OrganumThe first type of counterpoint and even, sometimes, polytonality. It sounds mechanical today, but it became a solid ground for the will to power of musical expression. MotetPolyphony in music and meaning (content of the verses). Two or even four voices. The aesthetic element gains priority over the clarity of consciousness. Think of Adam de la Halle.
