The Earliest Piece of Polyphonic Music Discovered – In 2011 Giovanni Varelli, working on his paper «Early Source for Two-Voice Organa in British Library, Harley 3019» he presented at several international conferences (Med-Ren, Cantus Planus…), asked Palma Choralis’ cooperation in performing and recording both antiphon and organum “Sancte Bonifati martyr”.
