Polyphonia is Montengarde's Music Group started by Lady [[Margareta vanden Velde]] in 2003 as a choral group determined to sing and perform period songs from memory.  Polyphonia was created to mean "Many Voices" but was immediately determined to actually mean "False Parrot" and from that point forward was symbolized as a peacock wearing the beak of a Parrot tied over it's own.
