Pérotin - Viderunt Omnes, Sheet Music + Audio

[fnordly]

If you will look carefully at this score, you will notice that, aside from the parallel 5ths, there are 'unresolved' dissonances of seconds and even a minor ninth in the final cadential passage. The important thing for this era was the melodic line, if there were dissonances along the way, that was fine as long as the integrity of the melodic line was preserved. This music is more like an elaborate form of heterophony rather than true polyphony.

enchanting. medieval vocal music has something mystical.

[LaCarusiella]

@Sorcerer88 I think it's the parallel fifths, it's my favorite interval and they used it a lot back then, it has a solemn and mystical feeling about it.

[aarandir]

@LaCarusiella Plus John Williams loves it. Every tune he's made for a film starts with a fifth. E.T., Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Harry Potter etc etc all start with a perfect fifth.

[Strefanasha]

@LaCarusiella yes, they did use consecutive 5ths a lotback then. and they were STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in my high school music class where they sough to teach us Bachian harmony and counterpoint.

how times change!!

[gabrielfxavier]

@Strefanasha in baroque period the use of constant(like in plainchant) pararelism was not so common, and its very hard to find pararell 5ths. I think sometimes the teaching of conterpoint and harmony in so a strict way is not the best way to learn such subjects. Debussy, ravel and even fauré have a lot of pararell 5ths and 4ths in counterpoint to create a wonderfull ressonace(specialy in piano pieces) effect. In any case, pararel 5ths in structral harmony obscure the independence of the voices.

[guitarman7111]

@gabrielfxavier you are right about the obstruction of harmony. most schools teach counterpoint and harmony from a strictly 18th century point of view, and specify them as such- "18th century counterpoint", etc.

[thetruetallboy]

@Strefanasha The reason behind the high school logic is that in tonal theory parallel fifths sound like crap (supposedly) and makes for really poor transitions from one scale degree to the other. I know it's ridiculous yet is is still being taught in major university theory classes.

[Soloc24]

@thetruetallboy that's because a lot of baroque and some classical era people did this, so it's taboo when teaching the basics. This music technically isn't tonal...it's the predecessor musical language which would evolve into tonality. It's so fascinating and awesome cause the rules just aren't invented yet.
