Exploring music by the influential 14th-century French poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377). Guillaume de Machaut was a French composer and poet who was the central figure of the ars nova style in late medieval music. He was regarded as the most significant French composer and poet of the 14th century, and he is often seen as the century’s leading European composer. His life and death dates are even used in modern musicology to separate the ars nova from the subsequent ars subtilior style. An unprecedented amount of music survives for Machaut compared to his contemporaries, partially because he was personally involved in the creation of the beautifully crafted manuscripts that preserve his creative output. As a poet-composer, he also embodies the culmination of the tradition stretching back to the traditions of the troubadours and trouvères of earlier centuries.
