Around the year 1100, the new musical form known as "organum" developed. This early polyphonic style involved adding one or more voices to a plainchant melody, creating harmonic depth. Organum laid the groundwork for the later development of more complex polyphony and was significant in the evolution of Western music. It marked a shift from monophonic chant to more intricate musical textures.
