Léonin 'Magister Leoninus' (fl1150s-c1201) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9onin

This is not plainchant, but is based upon it : distorted chant with harmonies.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organum for a bit more info about this style.  It is wonderful music - great at low volume as a background to work.



From the CD blurb :

Diapason d'Or, France. Diapason d'Or de l'Annee. BBC Magazine Best of the Year

Little is known about Léonin beyond the fact that he seems to have had a bent for composing erotic poetry. The somewhat unhelpfully named 'Anonymous IV', a monk from Bury St Edmunds, tells us of two 'masters'—Leoninus and Perotinus—who dominated the twelfth-century musical world. Both were reputedly based at Notre Dame in Paris, and Leoninus was responsible for the Magnus liber organi, the 'Big Book of organum' (an organum being a polyphonic setting of plainchant), which is widely regarded as the single greatest achievement in the development of early polyphony.
