Music historians believe that the first sacred polyphony was written for use in the Mass at Notre Dame Cathedral, so it has become a landmark in music history. Polyphony is music with two or more melodic parts, such as harmony or descant. This was a great leap up from chant or plainsong, which employs a simple, unharmonized melody line.
