Abstract

This article investigates the methods of elaboration used in making organum at the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Its aim is to show how and why tripla and quadrupla came to be composed as an expression of their cultural context and to investigate conditions determining the elaboration of these virtuosic pieces destined for the celebration of the greatest feasts in the new cathedral.
