  • Thanks for uploading this. Was getting irritated that there were so many modern implementations with so few originals.

  • @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.

  • @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 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.

  • Where's the drone?
