Pérotin's "Beata Viscera": An Analysis

Today I will be analyzing a piece of medieval music by Perotin. This will be a short analysis

because I will just examine the musical elements of this piece:


Tonality:
Monophonic
Minor

Tinbre:
One female voice 

Meter: Free meter with an implied triple meter

Form: Many cadences, but the tonal center does not change. The main melody is repeated many times over 

Style: Conductus, sacred, syllabic
