Organum originated in the early medieval period, around the 9th century, as a form of early polyphony in Western music. It developed primarily in the monasteries of France, where monks began to add melodic lines to existing plainchant, or Gregorian chant, creating a harmonized sound. This practice laid the groundwork for the evolution of Western music, leading to more complex forms of polyphony in the following centuries.
