ORGANUM CUM ALIO
The major works of the Perotin generation differ from those of the previous generation in one fundamental respect. They are written for more than two parts—or, to make the point in most essential terms, they are written for more than one part against the Gregorian tenor. That is why contemporary theorists called their style organum cum alio (“organum with another [voice]”) to distinguish it from organum per se (“organum by itself”).
