About Leonin Leonin Leonin made a the liber it was a collection. Lonin was also probably the first composer to use the rhythmic modes (which are long and short durations), and possibly also to invent a notation for them. It was Lonins incomparable achievement to introduce a rational system of rhythm into polyphonic music for the first time, and to create a method of notation expressive of this rhythm.The Magnus Liber was intended for liturgical use. According to Anonymous IV, Magister Leoninus (Lonin) was the finest composer of organum; he wrote the great book (Magnus Liber) for the gradual and antiphoner for the sacred service. All of the Magnus Liber is for two voices, although little is known about actual performance practice: the two voices were not necessarily soloists.According to Anonymous IV, Lonins work was greatly improved and expanded by the later composer Protin. See also Medieval music.Some reknown musicologists believe that Lonin may have been the same person as a contemporaneous Parisian poet, Leonius, after whom Leonine verse may have been named. This would make Lonins use of meter even more significant.Leonin was a musistion and a poet (canon Music a piece in which the same melody is begun in different parts successively, so that the imitations overlap.)Leonin made 8 books that where the holy bibles.
