The Earliest Piece of Polyphonic Music Discovered – In 2011 Giovanni Varelli, working on his paper «Early Source for Two-Voice Organa in British Library, Harley 3019» he presented at several international conferences (Med-Ren, Cantus Planus…), asked Palma Choralis’ cooperation in performing and recording both antiphon and organum “Sancte Bonifati martyr”. Thus, we are pleased to present our performance of the earliest known practical piece of Western polyphonic music (910s AD) supervised by the musicologist who discovered this source during his internship at the British Library.
