Late medieval composers made clever use of these distinctions, including an intermediate “neumatic” style (Greek pneuma, “breath”) to create ever more extensive polyphonic pieces. Thus, “syllabic” denotes a setting where one syllable corresponds to one note “ melismatic” refers to a phrase or composition employing several distinct pitches for the vocalization of a single syllable. The decisive relationship between text and melody in early European music led to stylistic distinctions that have survived the ages. “Parallel” organum was followed, in turn, by “free” organum, which allowed the synchronized voice parts to utilize contrary melodic motion. Toward the end of the 1st millennium of the Christian Era, church singers had grown accustomed to enhancing their chants through organum. The precise measurement of musical time was simply an indispensable prerequisite for compositions in which separate, yet simultaneously sounded, melodic entities were combined in accordance with the medieval theorists’ rules of consonance (specifying the proper intervals to be used between voice parts, especially at points of musical repose). This era witnessed the emergence of basic polyphonic concepts identified with European art music ever since. But multipart music might never have gone beyond the most primitive stages of counterpoint had it not been for the application of organized rhythm to musical structure in the late Middle Ages. The European written tradition, largely because it evolved under church auspices, de-emphasized rhythmic distinctiveness long after multipart music had superseded the monophonic plainchant.
