Guillaume de MachautMedieval PeriodComposers
Machaut was the greatest 14th century composer, as well as France's
leading poet. He was educated as a priest, but most of his music was written
for the secular world. Machaut wrote many love songs, not too different
from those of the trouveres in both their parties
and their music.
Machaut's Messe de Notre Dame is a very well known work. This is a four part setting of the ordinary of the Mass, and it shows the new style of polyphony in the Middle Ages. Sample Works:
Agnus Dei
