The oldest written organum ( 900), which evidently reflects a prevailing improvisational practice, consists of two lines moving simultaneously, note against note, the added line often paralleling the chant line a fourth or a fifth below. Later the added line acquired greater melodic individuality and independence. Organum consisting of more than one note against each chant note (florid or melismatic organum) appeared by the early 12th century. Three-and four-voice organum were first composed by the Notre-Dame school. Organum died out with the advent of the 13th-century motet; An organ or instrument; hence, a method by which philosophical or scientific investigation may be conducted; a term adopted from the Aristotelian writers by Lord Bacon, as the title ("Novum Organon") of part of his treatise on philosophical method; Liturgical music, based on existing plainsong,, used to set prose; the earliest genre of medieval polyphonic music
