Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Organum is a plainchant or a plainsong that contains two voices: one for the melody and one for the bass. These two voices are either parallel in motion (parallel organum) or contrasting in motion.
With this assignment, we were to look at and listen to Viderunt omnes. After which we were able to harmonize the chords and provide lead sheet symbols.

The plainchant recording doesn't help you explain this assignment; the organum recording would have.Sakinah A Davisdc6618cfc4579aed0b05e71b244a42a238768881
