Something new happened in sacred music sometime between 700 and 900 to take the first steps in the development of polyphony. Give its proper name and briefly describe it.

Respuesta :

It was called Organum

Explanation:

Organum is in a way a precursor to the harmony and it is the first example of polyphony in the medieval chant music wherein one or in some cases until the fourth or fifth a parallel voice was added to the main voice, on the fifth note or sometimes on a parallel note in the same octave.

This parallel voice gave a deeper sense  of music and was in a lot of ways the precursor of what would become polyphonic harmony.
