@ElliotJohnNovak the ordo was written in monophony, in which the melodic line is the only thing sung and there is not accompaniment. many modern performances do, in fact, use a drone or other kinds of accompaniment, but this is indeed how it would have been sung, sans drone.
@guitarman7111 That's not what I learned in music history class. Nortons Anthology of Western Music used for the music, and I don't have the textbook handy so I can't name it. Interesting though, I'll ask my professor about it.
@ElliotJohnNovak I am sorry, you are absolutely correct. For some reason I thought this was supposed to be chant. There would most certainly have been a drone! Some people (myself included) think that there may have been instrumental improvisation between vocal melodies as well.
Thanks for uploading this. Was getting irritated that there were so many modern implementations with so few originals.
