If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

The '''Notre-Dame school''' or the '''Notre-Dame school of polyphony''' refers to the group of composers working at or near the [[Notre-Dame de Paris|Notre-Dame Cathedral]] in Paris from about 1160 to 1250, along with the music they produced.
{{Listen|filename=Breves dies hominis.ogg|title=Breves dies hominis|description=Breves dies hominis, Notre-Dame school.|format=[[Ogg]]}}

The only composers whose names have come down to us from this time are [[Léonin]] and [[Pérotin]]. Both were mentioned by an anonymous English student, known as [[Anonymous IV]], who was either working or studying at Notre-Dame later in the 13th century. In addition to naming the two composers as "the best composers of organum," and specifying that they compiled the big book of [[organum]] known as the ''[[Magnus Liber Organi]]'', he provides a few tantalizing bits of information on the music and the principles involved in its composition. Pérotin is the first composer of ''organum quadruplum''—four-voice [[polyphony]]—at least the first composer whose music has survived, since complete survivals of notated music from this time are scarce.

Léonin, Pérotin and the other anonymous composers whose music has survived are representatives of the era of European music history known as the [[ars antiqua]]. The [[motet]] was first developed during this period out of the [[Clausula (music)|clausula]], which is one of the most frequently encountered types of composition in the ''Magnus Liber Organi''.

While music with notation has survived, in substantial quantity, the interpretation of this music, especially with regard to rhythm, remains controversial. Three music theorists describe the contemporary practice: [[Johannes de Garlandia (music theorist)|Johannes de Garlandia]], [[Franco of Cologne]], and Anonymous IV. However, they were all writing more than two generations after the music was written, and may have been imposing their current practice, which was quickly evolving, on music which was conceived differently. In much music of the Notre-Dame School the lowest voices sing long note values while the upper voice or voices sing highly ornamented lines, which often use repeating patterns of long and short notes known as the "[[rhythmic modes]]". This marked the beginning of notation capable of showing relative durations of notes within and between parts.{{r|Hoppin1978_221}}

==Notre-Dame motets==
The earliest motets are the Notre-Dame motets, written by composers such as Leonin and Perotin during the 13th century. These motets were polyphonic, with a different text in each voice, and employed the rhythmic modes. An example of a Notre-Dame motet is ''Salve, salus hominum/O radians stella/nostrum'' by Perotin, composed between 1180 and 1238.

== Contemporary accounts ==
With [[polyphony]], musicians were able to achieve musical feats perceived by many as beautiful, and by others, distasteful.{{r|Kirkman2010_163n72}} [[John of Salisbury]] (1120–1180), philosopher and [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Chartres|Bishop of Chartres]], who taught at the [[University of Paris]] during the years of [[Léonin]] but before Pérotin, was one of the latter. He attended many services at the Notre-Dame Choir School. In his ''[[Policraticus]]'' he offers a first-hand description of what was happening to music in the [[High Middle Ages]], writing:{{r|Hayburn1979_18}}

{{Quote|Bad taste has, however, degraded even religious worship, bringing into the presence of God, into the recesses of the sanctuary a kind of luxurious and lascivious singing, full of ostentation, which with female modulation astonishes and enervates the souls of the hearers. When you hear the soft harmonies of the various singers, some taking high and others low parts, some singing in advance, some following in the rear, others with pauses and interludes, you would think yourself listening to a concert of sirens rather than men, and wonder at the powers of voices … whatever is most tuneful among birds, could not equal. Such is the facility of running up and down the scale; so wonderful the shortening or multiplying of notes, the repetition of the phrases, or their emphatic utterance: the treble and shrill notes are so mingled with tenor and bass, that the ears lost their power of judging. When this goes to excess it is more fitted to excite lust than devotion; but if it is kept in the limits of moderation, it drives away care from the soul and the solicitudes of life, confers joy and peace and exultation in God, and transports the soul to the society of angels.{{r|JohnOfSalisbury1938_I6}}}}
