ooh, I'll add this to my byzantine playlist that I have for playing Assassin's Creed... I still dont see a connection between Organum, I believe that is a melody with an underlying fixed note as accompaniment, and this type of complex harmony. Late "Renaissance" like ars nova seems so disjointed from the organums or the homophony heard in, say, the last piece here, that is still very close to monophony still. How did people 'invent' triads? Music evolution is not linear as lazy students want...
@omgtkseth Triads became apparant in Baroque, when major and minor evolved. Rameau posited the discovery of the "fundamental law" or what he referred to as the "fundamental bass" of all Western music. Rameau's methodology incorporated mathematics, commentary, analysis and a didacticism that was specifically intended to illuminate, scientifically, the structure and principles of music. He was called the "Newton of music".

@bartje11 His 1722 Treatise on Harmony initiated a revolution in music theory and caused quite a sensation
