How King Dorian United His Kingdom

King Dorian Tries Greek Notation

King Dorian experimented with using popular musical styles he was familiar with, and he recreated them using the symbolic system used by the ancient Greeks. First he recreated an excerpt from an organum composition, and second he used a popular secular song titled Nobody Love. King Dorian realized that the lack of rhythmic and melodic specificity could be confusing so in the organum piece he added symbols to make the music easier to read.

Your first image is upside down, while your second does not indicate whether or not it is your work. If not, it needed to be cited. What about listening examples?
