Description
When One Voice Became Many: The Rise of Polyphony in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!
Fun Fact
In early polyphonic music, singers didn’t always have rhythm notated. They had to feel their way through the parts. Imagine performing complex interwoven melodies… by ear! It wasn’t until the 13th century that rhythmic notation caught up. Until then, performances were part skill, part educated guess.
