Medival Period - Benedicamus Domino

This is an excellent example of a medival piece that uses the Dorian mode of composition. This is a monophonic plainsong, which was then used as a Cantus Firmus for polyphonic arrangements.

This recent recording and arrangement of this piece in 4 voices, each imitating one another at different timings. Great arrangements, truly angelic!
