Which term means 'Old Art' and refers to music of the 12th and 13th centuries?

Explanation:
This term designates the medieval era described as the “old art,” referring to music from the 12th and 13th centuries. Ars Antiqua encompasses the early development of polyphony, such as the Notre Dame school’s organum and the use of rhythmic modes that preceded more flexible notation. It contrasts with Ars Nova, which means “new art” and points to the 14th century’s expanded rhythmic notation and stylistic innovations. Other options belong to different periods: the Baroque Period comes centuries later, and a bagatelle is a short, light piece from the Classical era, not medieval.
