The rhythm of early notated music came from a few different sources. One idea is that it was first notated with the Greeks.
Leonin, who worked in Paris during the second half of the 12th century, and Perotin, who continued after Leonin, developed polyphonic organum. This was a type of music composition the was developed into counterpoint. Prior to organum, music was very simple, with a single melodic line, sung in unison. There were possible additions, such as a drone, which stuck to a single tone. Organum used the same melodic line duplicated in easy ways such as at an interval of a third or fourth above the main line. This was developed with increasing complexity until, with counterpoint, second and third melodic lines that were very different melodies were used simultaneously, related to each other in accordance with a set of rules developed for the purpose.
