Organum is by nature a melismatic form of choral music. If anything, when this work was originally sung at Notre Dame in the Middle Ages, it was probably ornamented with much more melismas than what is heard in this performance.
@@markatkins8807 Well...melismatic organum is by nature melismatic. Earlier forms of organum, such as parallel and convergent organum, not so much. Melismatic organum doesn't really start to show up until about the 12th century, but the simpler forms of the style date back over two centuries before that. (Maybe I should have started this reply with "um...actually..." LOL!)
Just a correction, but we actually don't know who wrote Haec Dies (Organum), since nobody signed his name on the piece. Leonin was involved since he was part of the Notre Dame School and this organum is written in the Notre Dame Style. But he isn't its composer.
Well, actually, he may have been its composer. He began the compilation of the Magnus Liber Organi, from which this was drawn. But as you said the composition itself is unsigned (to do so would have been considered a commission of the deadly sin of pride). Stylistically, it's closer to the style of his time than it is to the later florid organa tripla of Perotin in the same book. So while there's no way to know for certain whether or not he wrote it, it's almost certain that he at least selected it for inclusion, and the association of the work with him is strong.
@@edmilham4172 I didn't seem to hear "exsultemus et laetemur in ea" in the recording and I didn't see that phrase either in the video, why is it missing? Also, it seems that the monophonic section is sung by the chorus? it doesn't sound monophonic to me
@@franklintoronto7520 "Exultemus et laetemur in ea" is at 1:45-2:26. The reason it doesn't appear in the video is that the text of that section is only what's termed an "incipit," just the first few words of the section. The full text of the "quam fecit Dominus" section is, "quam fecit Dominus: exultemus et laetemur in ea." I assume that would just have been too long to include in the chart neatly. As for the monophonic texture of that section, remember, it doesn't matter how many people are singing. If they're all singing in unison, so that there is only a single melody, the texture is monophonic. By the way, that section is taken from a different recording, and interpolated into this video. Nice bit of editing.
@@EdMuse1122 really grateful for your response, can't believe people are still responding to comments despite this video being posted many many years ago where can I find the source of this piece? I can't find any other reliable soundtracks of Haec dies organum Or O Mitissima/Virgo/Haec dies thank you so much in advance!
Do you have a credit for the recording you used for the organum and discant sections of this work? I've been familiar with the first minute and a half of it since I was in college 35 years ago, and have been using it in my own teaching for decades (of course, along with the chant in the second section, it was on the Norton Recordings to go with the Norton Scores in its older editions). But I've never heard the "confitemini Domino quoniam bonus quoniam" sections, before. I'd love to know where this recording came from. Note that the link in the description is dead.
For anyone who is taking their RCM history 10 exam ONLINE: is the short essay just asking for details about Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn, etc. or is it asking about a detailed descriptions about a musical piece like Haec dies chant, Haec dies organum, etc? Or both perhaps?
the questions are auto generated. It'll create two composers and two pieces, and it'll ask you to compare the 2 composers in one questions, then the two pieces in the other question. Unfortunately, it can be random, so it may compare some composers that have not much in common. This is what i heard from my RCM history 10 teacher today. This also seemed to be the case for the grade 9 exam as i had taken it online as well, so it could be similar on the grade 10 exam.

@amber yang - this isn't a correction- it says in the style of Leonin, it doesn't say by Leonin
