Taruskin claims that this is not really a three-part composition, but two different accompaniments (one ornate, one homorhythmic) provided for the same chant. And that therefore performances like this are spurious.
i wonder if the old devotional songs to Romes gods sounded sort of like this. i mean this style of singing came from somewhere! and Roman culture dominated alot of western Europe for a long time. thefore, this singing style is probably a "culture memory".
@acerb4566655 the ancient Romans probably would not have had an advanced form of polyphony such as this. This development occurred many centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire. However, as polyphony arose from chant, medieval monophonic Gregorian chant most likely had connections to ancient roman musical practice.
@acerb45666555 Roman Ancient Music was different from now. And these music came mostly from monastic orders many of wich were foudned after the Western Half of the Roman Empire had colapsed but who knows
Interestingly enough, the Codex Calixtinus is one of the earliest samples of polyphony in religious music, a prelude, so to speak. Its author was formerly believed to be Pope Callixtus II (hence the name), however nowadays it is held that the actual author was a French scholar by the name of Aymeric Picaud.
It was recuperated, Cogaudeant catholici is the oldest polyphony known to man

I dont believe Codex Calixtinus was stolen! Such demonic age we live on!

This chant is a representation of Notre Dame School, s. XII. From pilgrims in Spain, the way of Santiago of Compostela.

Is this a particular style of chant? I find this to be one of my favorites and would be very interested in hearing more similar.

il primo caso di polifonia a 3 voci documentato in europa.
la terza voce è però stata aggiunta successivamente.

I think that Congaudeant Catholici is a composition made by Magister Albertus Parisinus
Is really beautiful!

Sounds like a composition of Magister Perotinus of the XII century.

He probably felt closer to Perotin and Leonin rather than his contemporaries.
