jan 1, 1198 - Perotinus' "Viderunt Omnes"
Description:
Composed in four-part organum and discant, Perotinus' Viderunt Omnes shows the advances polyphony has made by this point. Employing dissonance and resolution to great effect, the piece eschews the traditional expectation of chant as completely consonant.
