I'm looking for early sheet music (member, history, teacher)

I'm sure many of you have seen it, I remember learning about it in an early music history class. It is sheet music in a shape. I remember seeing both a heart and sheet music in a circle where the staff is actually in the shape.

If anyone could send me a link to one of these pieces of music or just tell me the composers It would be greatly appreciated, I need it for a project I am doing.

Thanks all!

I'm confused here... do you mean neumatic notation?

im sorry im not describing it well, it uses notation on a 5 line staff but its not written in a horizontal, left to right manner. I remember learning about it and my teacher saying musicians would have to turn their music upside down and sideways to read the music

Dude, I've totally seen that somewhere before... I think on Wikipedia maybe...

But I know what you're talking about... I'll try and search to find it again.
